My '79 Corolla with a 7MGTE

[SMDgarage]

My friend and I threw this together a couple of weeks ago, i'm just waiting on my other friend to weld me the mounts. Unfortunately, a shoe horn didn't work, so we had to beat up the firewall to make it fit, but it's not going to be a show car so doesn't matter. It still has room to fit the radiator in front of the radiator support but behind the grill. :biglaugh:

Man thats awesome! Just needs a paint job and it will have looks and performance! By the way that is rear wheel drive right? Im sure it is but just wondering if you were converting it.

[themadhatter]

that thing is going to be a death trap lol make sure to weld in a cage

 

[SMDgarage]

Lol guys, yep, I'm hoping it will be able to fly :biglaugh: , otherwise I'm going to torch it :evil2:

A lot of my friends are running conquest/starion set-ups in their corollas, most run a flat 12 with a stock set-up, but I came across this 7MGTE set-up and I had to be different and do it :biglaugh: the power to weight ratio is what officially makes it a death trap, no money for a cage, being unemployed doesn't help.

What kind of rear end are you going to use? LSD or open diff... Dont run that power through an open diff, trust me, I know... You'll do a 180 off the starting line... I was only pullin 360 to the wheels and didnt realize my lsd had crapped out on me, so I was peg leggin, and it would yank me from one side to the other... So be careful with that light little car, but have fun and keep us posted, this is going to be wild!
