Hi all.
I have my 72/73 KE25 Corolla SL/SR 3KB Twin Carb ready for some work and would like to know what members suggest as
the simplest engine and gearbox swap to gain some horsepower but keep the car as much in one piece as possible so the
swap can be reversed if I come to sell the car as it is very original.
150-175hp would be a nice goal to aim for. Do people suggest 4AGE or one of the other K engines?
Maybe it is just not possible to keep it simple and easy. I understand brakes etc will need upgrading.
I just really fancy zipping around with a power to weight ratio approaching Porsche Turbo levels for a while as these cars
are really light by todays standards and showing up the odd boy racer.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Robert.
