Check out my webpage first.
1. KE55 is newer, with 4K engine (not 3K) and had updated parts. Also many australian made parts.
2. 1974-1981
3. Mod the existing cross member.
4. Only TE30 series cars had hydralic, not KE series. It is easy to convert but.
5. ???
6. T series 6.7" is good enough, and the standard diff behind the 2T-G and 4A-GE.
7. Lots about. They are plentyfull and cheap. Probably 3 million sold.

1. Whats the difference between the KE30 and the KE55?
|
diff - ke30 had banjo and ke55 had a borg warner
ke55 had larger drums
different bumbers, bonnet, grill, lights, fuel vents, dash, motor as mentioned, some ke55 had sway bars and interior varies model to model

5.How big is the transmission tunnel? As i would want to fit a W series box behind the 4ag/ze. Anyone else build the bellhousings for this or do i have to get dellow (bodgy)?
|
bigger enough for a w series gearbox
most use dellows but that was some on these forums stating that they were making them in NZ

6.What diff is recommended? I was thinking of a G series hilux with lsd. Would this need shortening?
|
hilux and borg warners (from falcons, commodores etc) are the most popular choice

KE55's rule
4K's are indestructable,
watch for rust under fuel filler hole and on both back mudgaurds.
