I've got a 2TC in my KE55, not for performance, but because I had the parts lying round at the time You can use the 2T engine and T50 5 speed no worries, but here's a few issues:
*You have to convert the clutch to hydraulic. Not hard, as the markings for the hole in the firewall are on the pedal box
*You can crowbar the 2T mounts onto the original 4K ones, but it's a tight fit, and the tailshaft is about an inch too long then. Ideally, modify the mounts slightly for a neater fit!
*The borg warner diff is utter crap, but will last OK if you don't treat it like I treat mine I'm onto my 4th one now...
*I understand with 2TGs the carb is awful close to the brake cylinder, but this isn't really an issue
*The tailshaft will fit straight into the T50 box, but as I said it's a bit long if you don't screw with the engine mounts a bit
Hope I haven't missed anything!
