Classique71 Forums Junkie Location: Colac, Victoria Registered: May 2002	Re: V8 RA celica Tue, 18 February 2003 01:51 your best bets would be either 302 windsor ( head design makes it easier to fit , less "v" shaped ) or the 3.5litre rover job the rover is pretty small - revs like the powers of piss and you can get good power from them BUT prices for parts are ghastly - and really they are not the best v8 about ( its british = shit ) ex housemate went thru three in 5 years in his land rover - they kept on throwing pistons and seals - one was even a specially prepared heavy duty motor - that lasted 40 thousand K before a piston tried to escape thru the side of the block and this wasnt even hard driving !!! i dont know iof you could carby a 1uzfe - though that would be the choice motor for EFI in a celica of your type .. ive seen the 302 conversion twice and one rover v8 job - The windsor fitted well though transmission tunnel needed " massaging " to accomidate the c4 auto and the front springs etc needed beefing up to handle the extra weight and forces put on the front of the car. you would also need to strengthen the chassis i guess to cope witht he extra toque load - and of course turf the standard diff in favour of something stronger ( ie borg warner LSD or hilux diff ! ) PS an original boss 302 would be near impossibnle to get though you can make one using windsor heads on the cleveland block i believe . Space wise this still could be a real issue due to head angle . I say do the 302 winsor conversion if you have one lying about - and have fun ! [Report message to a moderator]
