Picked it up on saturday... A 1980 TE-72 T-18 SE. Very Happy $1500!

Its metallic poo-brown, with a fire breathing 3T-C & some awesome high performance retreads on some shiny steel rims.

The luxury tan velour interior features some classy brown & white central racing stripes, reminiscent of grandmas couch from back in the '70s... Oh, and a genuine woodgrain dash fascia from a plastic walnut tree.

Dunno why i didnt get a car like this years ago instead of the AE-86!!?!??! Shocked Laughing





Now, in all seriousness...

It handles like a boat. Will AE-86 suspension components fit the TE-72? (shocks & springs, specifically)?
will a 2TG twincam head bolt onto the 3T block? if so, what do i need to do it? (the amount i know about T series engines can be written on the head of a pin.... but i'm more than willing to learn! Very Happy ) - dont wanna go injection, im a member of 'Team Povo' now... the less it costs the better, so carbs are the go.

Is there anything else i should know about these cars/engines that i can do to make it a little bit better?

Any & all help would be appreciated.
