Ok so I have a friend who owns a Honda shop. He has 3 k series engines laying around. Last night I asked him how much he would sell me one for and he said $300. I was just asking for ****s and grins but it really got my gears going. Right now my plan for the Celica is a Beams. The Beams would cost me some 3k to do properly but if I can swap in a k series and get it running for under 3k, I think It might be a fun project. What do you guys think?
Right now I know the axles, motor mounts, and the whole inverted intake/exhaust manifolds will be an issue. what else should I think about? |

dang triple post!!!
the 1MZ didnt come with VVT until 2003. the only problem with that is that a VVT 1MZ and 3MZ never were mated to a 5 speed trans, therefore it wouldnt be legal in CA. now you can get around that like i am by using a 3.3L 3MZ block with non VVT 1MZ heads. basically creating a 3.3L 1MZ with a slightly higher compression. im expecting to make 200 to the wheels. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
