A lot of people seem to consider T motors are too heavy to stuff in the front end of early Corollas. This doesn't mean that they are right, of course, but T motors are rather heavy, the 3T-GTE especially so. (I have heard figures in the 180kg region - WAY more than a K motor!) The extra weight could (and probably should) be balanced by heavier front springs, but that could introduce another whole set of problems. I guess one must look at the bigger picture, which to his credit the original poster was doing. A carefully spent 8k should get you an extremely well sorted K-powered Corolla that could be a lot of fun to punt around, whereas you might be rather less satisfied if more of that 8k had to be spent on just the engine and its ancillaries. I bet you could fit a mild blowthru turbo setup for that kind of money, and still have plenty left for well sorted suspension, tyres, etc. [Report message to a moderator]
