crazy boyish dream

[urbandork]

Just the other day i saw an older corolla in very good shape. It had to be in the 70's era.

Any way to the point is there an older corolla that can take a nice large engine like a v6 or something. If so what type of v6 and where can i get the motor mounts and whatever else i need to bolt it up to the trany. How much do you think it will cost and what will be involved.

I just thought it would be awsome if someone had an older corolla that sounded very muscle car like

Ok im dun u can hit me now

[boosted gt]

you would more than likely have to have a hot rod shop or metal fabricator make the mounts. and i dont know if there would be enough room but i have seen a few buick 3.8's in older imports . you will need a trans that bolts up to the 3.8 and have a custom driveshaft and crossmember made.
other options could be:ford 3.8,chevy 2.8,4.3,chrysler 3.9
no matter what route you go with the drivetrain a v6 swap in a old import will be $$$$$

go to hasport.com they've been making them for years. Puts the brand new camry V6 in the corolla of your choice.

well if it's an older like nova body-style corolla, i'm sure u could put some really ncie engines in that. of course like they said, it'd require a ton of money, but u could do it relatively easily.

[02RSX90camry]

u've inspired me to put a HEMI 426 in a corolla one of these days

I think the 70's Corollas are awsome, but you've got the wrong idea with a v6. The Hemi 3TC that came in them is not powerfull in stock form, but can be very powerfull when built. They can take a lot of boost, or you can get quad carbs and cams and what not. Check this out:

This guy is running 13s with an N/A 3TC: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/529486/1


This one runs 11s with turbo

A lot of guys also swap in rotaries and 4a-ges and what not.

[02RSX90camry]

yeah, there's a 78 corolla in the 400 club even, using i believe that 3TC.

crazy-ness ... mad crazy-ness

wow thanks for all the input. u guys have been a large help.

[silverstreakin]

holy massive turbo batman!

i wish i still had my 81.

i thought the 70s corollas came with the 2tc?? my 81 had the 3tc, and it was supposed to be the new design

[Chris Corolla S]

^^ You are right. 3TC was not stock in early seventies. They had 2TC and also some 3Es and maybe others... 3TC is a straight swap for that body style though and seems to be the most popular. I belive the 2TC is a 1.4 and the 3TC is a 1.6.

[Voodoo.Priest]

Ya, the 3TC is an amazing engine. Definatly my weapon of choice if I was to build a Corolla dragster.

man...i was gonna try and stuff a 350 into my car but didn't have access to a cutter and welder to stretch the engine bay.

if you do, or you have access to the money, i think you should do that

[urbandork]

350?? as in an american 350?? now that i would like to c. It would be the most amazing corolla that id ever hear and c when taking off from a red.

i know they put small block v8's in those dinky and light mazda miata's so y not a corolla.

To bad boys dreaming do usally have lots of money. Like the say the youth is wasted on the young.

[falnfenix]

yes, as in an american 350.

and yeah...it CAN be done...but i had to sell off the motor to pay bills. i still plan on doing it but the project has been pushed back a few years for financial reasons.

[02RSX90camry]

i've seen AE86's with V8's in them, so an AE102, or ZZE110 or something more recent should be no problem.
