HighLUX Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is sweet! Good to see a different engine conversion happening from the norm, should push it along nicely.\ Bottom of the gearbox should have provisions to mount a normal gearbox xmember to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae85 fiend Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ae85/6 in the garage for sale? Hahahahhaha. I do like the twin headlights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Out of all of the possible engines, this is one I never would have thought of... But it's actually a pretty damn good plan! None of the complexity etc of a beams motor to cause you headaches and cost $$$$, super easy smash it in there type engine swap.Especially since it's a factory EFI model car already, makes things so much easier.It will keep similar character to the original car/motor, while way better reliability and fuel economy. Cant go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennis Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks Roman, yea its all come together pretty good on those terms, i bought it thinking it was a AA60 only to find it had a charming 3teu which is for sale if anyone wants to buy it. No the AE86 is not for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glancn Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Pre-face lift, cool! Used to own a Carina and still love these cars today. Good luck with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymotor Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I've considered this swap for my SA60. Nice and easy for me as I already have the bits from my 1s. Only thing that's stopped me so far is that most wreckers think because they are a van engine that they are worth something. I would definitely go down this route if I found a cheap 3sfe.
