Well, tried to replace my carbed 2E engine in my 89 boxy starlet to 5EFE powersource, but discovered the bearings where slammed out and inrepairable distroyed of the fresh bought engine (not that much paid)
Inrepairable becaise the heat welded the bearing shims into the crank. Head and so on is very good, as pistons.
My plan now:
From 2E engine i use:
Block, crank, rods, tranni, clutch, starter and so on
From a 5EFE with distroyed crank bearings i use:
16V Head, pistons (to be pressed on the 2E rods) Timing gear, Intake and exhaust manifold.
Extra things needed: 2EE or 4EFE ecu, wiring harness, electric fuel pump and some thicker fuel line, petrol catch can in engine bay to insure fuel supply in the longer curves.
The cilinders have to be bored to 74mm (are 73)
At the moment busy with flowing the head. Just fitted the 5E head on a 2E block, fits straigh away with oil and water holes etc.
Keep you posted.
