TurboViper Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hey guys I need some brainstorming about a 77 Corolla. My buddy has one and I'm thinking about doing a 350 swap for him in it. Anyone have any hints or information about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Monster Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 hey turboviper, i know of ppl stuffing a 2jz-gte into this model/yr corolla... its a very balance and well proven hybrid.. its no hybridz though but still a real monster of a car (its a z killer:)).... especially good on the drag strip coz that was what that car was built to do aside from being a daily driver.

TurboViper Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 cool, any other information, links would be helpfull also please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Chevy would kill the thing. It would also handel like crap. I put a 2tg into my 76 sr cuope and even that mesed up the balance. These cars are light. 200hp at the flywheel is enough for a lot of fun. I would look at the 3.0 lt 4 cyliner toyota truck engine (3rz I think). Get it back as far as you can. If you must have a v8 look for the lightest one you can fine. Buick 350, ford 302, rover 3500 or the larger versions. Mabye a buick v6.

Guest kustom240 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 How about a 4agze? 1.8L toyota turbo out of a corolla. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-86-89-COROLLA-MR2-4AGZE-ENGINE-W-5-SPD-TRANS_W0QQitemZ8012089143QQcategoryZ33615QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem shouldn't totally kill the weight distro, and it keeps with being a toyota.
