Corrola 86 + 350

[Dirty_SOHC]

Corrola 86 with a 350, can it be done??

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

anything can be done with enough $$$$

[Speed_Dreams]

it can....but why????? you ruin the balance of the nice little pocket rocket when you drop in a HUGE engine.

[Dirty_SOHC]

Why not, Just comtemplating on something different.

[method]

might was well drop it in a tube frame drag car.

[ninspeed]

yes it can be done, you may not have to to cut the fire wall back as the motor sat far back in the corolla and make room for a bigger rad. bonus is the motor mounts in the corolla are very simmilar to a v-8 in the vega. Just gotta get rid of that damm engine shock mount on the drivers side.

The rear end of a vega, or s-10 should fit in if you plan on making a little more power (5 bolt hub VS 4, plus there is a bigger aftermarket for the chevy rear ends) and you can play around with a ferio front end suspension if you wanna keep 5 bolt on all 4

EDIT:
Steve Harrington ran a 86 Toyota Corolla with a 455ci in the super comp 2003 Easter Thunderball over in france

true....but think of the possiblities....2JZ....RB26....just GOBS of power

[T5_X]

everyone thinks that V8 swaps in cars add sooooooo much weight, thats bs. I'm planning on a chev 350 swap into a volvo 240. the weight added over the front wheels won't be more than 50 lbs if I relocate the battery and use lightened parts like aluminum cyl heads. V8 swaps done properly with ford 302s usually add 150 lbs, with chev 350s about 200 lbs. Though the corolla has a 4age, which is probably pretty light so the 350 may add quite a bit of weight.

Some cars that are really good for v8 swaps are older jags, 240z's 240sx's, rx7's (buy a 1st gen for real cheap)

[cocoabrova]

2JZ/RB26 swaps would be nice:eek:I wonder if they fit in the engine bay without having to cut out the firewall/rad support.......

[dj_honda]

you have to cut i am pretty sure

There ain't no way your comin near my 240 with a junkyard v8.:thumbsdown: SR20 or RB25 baby, the replacement for displacement, and i'll still maintain 55/45 weight ratio :thumbsup:

or you could do what hot rod magazine did...

chevette + 500cid caddilac motor = Fast with no traction.

[yankeefan]

didnt see the article, but ya getting them to go fast would be alot easier then getting em to hook up.

if you used a aluminium block out of a 90s Camaro or other late model muscle car , the LS1 is an aluminium block. the weight would be close to the original weight of a iron block 4A. include the tranny and ECU and you would have a smokin corolla.

also if you want to keep the axle/hub the same get a 79-81 supra rear end. they can handle up to 400 hp and are limited slip. direct bolt on mounting wise but need a new drive shaft

How close? A 4AG is barely over 100lbs. A T50 Tranny is around 70lbs.

Yup!

[Zephyr]

I remember that buildup series, also there was a web video floating around of it, the thing was killer and spun the tires the entire quarter mile, even with slicks...
Their first runs were 13 second timeslips with crazy MPH figures, I wonder what ever became of the 'vette?...Max

Sheesh.. why would anybody do anything to a chevette/acadian:bigpimp: :bigpimp: ??

[RSRT-4]

:dunno: Yeah why would anyone Fix up a chevette :banghead:

[finboy]

i know someone putting a 2.8 in a chevette.

can't argue with the facts, it weights next to nothing (under 2000 pounds) and can fit a v8.

[XylathaneGTR]

haha, At my school they took the dirtbag chevette and stuck an IROC Z Camaro motor into it...It looks soooo fucking funny...Sounds like ass in a blender too...

[RSRT-4]

Wow you can fit a v8 into a chevette/acadian well that interesting :confused: haven't seen any of those around:dunno: has anyone else

[finboy]

its more than a shoehorn job from what i understand.

but a v6 would fit with ease.

how about a 4.3 turbo (syclone/typhoon) mated to a t56 in a chevette ;)
