Corona MKII Engine conversion. . . . .	Tue, 22 March 2005 10:30

Howdy guy's, new member. Been doing a little research on putting a 7MGTE into my '73 MkII Corona and to the best of my knowledge it's a straight forward conversion using 4m/5m engine mounts. Few questions though. 1) Mine has the 12R four cylinder. Is there any difference between the 4cyl and 6cyl crossmembers?? That is, can I simply bolt the 6cyl engine mounts onto the 4cyl crossmember? 2)I've read that the W58 box fits in the stock tunnel nicely. But my car is auto and I want to keep it that way - will the toyota 4-speed fit as easily as the w58? I don't mind fabricating a new mount but I don't want to make a new tunnel. If I only have to beat it a little, that's fine Cheers Matt Pic of the car for anyone interested.

Dude that's an RT81 Corona, not a Corona Mk2 (MX10 etc). It would share little, if anything, with a Corona Mk2. Car in avatar is a Mk2. Fitting a 7M to that would require significant work. A better more balanced upgrade would be a 3SGE. By the way, tidy little unit. [Updated on: Tue, 22 March 2005 10:39] [Report message to a moderator]

if your willing to invest in a rack and pinion stearing conversion this maybe of interest... http://members.optusnet.com.au/ma70/rt81v8project/ so when your 12r does this.. you do this... and this.. would of been awesome but i was not willing to goto the effort of a rack conversion [Report message to a moderator]
