hey all,

i am slowly trying to find parts within my locallity to eventually drop a 2t-g carb engine into my KE-55 1980 corolla. I have some quesitons if anyone could help me,

I would firstly like to get the 4spd aussie box out, and drop the T-50 celica series gearbox in, i have check and it has the holes ready for mounting 17cm back from the original box and it all lines up with the spline and etc.

...i am wondering if that will bolt up to the 4k engine, for the time being until i can find a 2T-g with twin solex and in Good Condition.

I also want to know if i can use any 2T cross-member or for that matter 3T cross-member cause i don't want to have to cut and shift things.

I know about that i will need a hydraulic clutch conversion which there are already holes present in the firewall. if anyone has any of these parts please tell me, i will more than definately buy it. your help will be more than greatly appreciated.

Thanks Brad

brad get on the old corollas egroup and do some searching here mate

to quickly answer you though

1. the 20 spline ta22 type t50 won't bolt up to your 4K. the bellhousings are different. i'm not aware of one available to make this work either.

2. you can't use the 2T crossmember from a TA22 as it won't fit. jonny rochester has the mount spacing ect for the 2T vs the K motor on his website but it seems to be down - best to get the mounts off the crossmember from a TA22/23 or T18 and weld them to your KE55 crossmember perhaps.

3. yes there are holes there, but you'll have to modify your pedal box from memory so that the clevis from the master will hook onto your clutch pedal.

do some searching mate...

actually there are two K to T bellhousings i am aware of..
one reputadly came in early KE35XX's and are cable operated clutch and were behind 3K's. the T50's were close ratio too apparently.

the second type came out behind 5K's, and are hydraulic clutch. i have one of these...
