KE 30 conversion, help and pain killers needed!

I have a 3t conversion in my KE 30 rolla, but am paranoid of the cops defecting my beast to regency ( i am in adelaide ).
I have devised a plan!!
Remove the 3T motor and T50 gearbox plus mod'd tailshaft.
Replace with a 3K and 3 spd auto and standard tailshaft.
Put the car on LPG with a Gas Research Carb.
Modify an A/C mount to take a 1G blower.
If the problem occur with 3k head remove it and use a 4K head on a 3K bottom end, effectivly and cheaply making it low compression.
What is all your thoughts?
come on boys and girls, come have your say?

you'd be better off with the 4k bottom end and 3k head (3k = 8.5:1,4k = 9.0:1)

I'd imagine that you'd still have have some trouble getting it passed being blown. But...
But for my 5 cents...
3k block using a 4k crank (increase the capacity)
3k head.
But if its only to be run on LPG you'd be able to up the compression a little as well. BUT that does depend on how much boost your planning on using.
Something else to think about is running a 2t with the 3t crank.

for arguments sake we will call it an air compressor, whether it is for the manifold or the occupants is completely up to the driver.
Seriously my brother had told me that i may as well go for the master defect and add the blower and LPG to the 3T.
There is only one way to do it legally and that is to spend alot of money and time getting it eng'od
No matter what engine i use( beside the fact i don't have a good K motor sitting around), I would like to run about 5 psi at the most.
As for the auto part how would i be going to fit an auto that will bolt up to the 3T motor?

An air compressor for the occupants

I can't really see having the car running on LPG making it easier to be defected, cause what you'd be doing is making the car more evo friendly (EPA). Its how some of the v8 boys get un-engineerable engines into their cars.

True, but LPG should make engineering the car easier. So long as the car runs only on LPG and nothing else.
Have you asked what needs doing? Cause all i can see is a brake, suspension and driveline upgrade. And i can't see that being to hard.

Have a look at the celica. Didn't that have an auto?

driveline, i can answer that myselph (its a crazy day). Using the sumitomo caliper and rotors off a t18 in slotted variety, can't get vented without the know how, and i don't have the know how. wheather it remains manual or auto the gearbox will last, I am not a burnout person. Diff is a good question either KE70\AE86 (both the same), T18 or RA23, cut off spring mounts and weld on leaf mounts. a set of stiffened springs and some decent shocks. wheels something like a 175/70R13 or 175/60R13 to give lower profile w/ (means = without) scrubbing the struts or any thing else.

Unvented front rotors on a t18? The t18 that i had were vented. Don't quote me on this, but i think the t18 brakes are the same as whats on the ke70.
Diff wise you could even use the ta22. Just cut the spring mounts off.
Tires, you could even use a 185. The ke30 that i had a my first car i was running a 185/60 on 14" sigma rims.
As for the trans tunnel thing, would have to do some checking on that one cause i'm really not to sure about it.

The T18 that I owned came with solids on the front. Come to think of it all the stock T18's I have seen have solid rotors on the front, and that is all the ones at Toyoland Autowreckers (I work there 2 days a week). I think you may have been the lucky recipient of a T18 with a stoppage upgrade. You wouldn't have those struts still?
