cherrye10 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 got a 5afe with a/t from a corolla L-touring wagon (ae10? ) thinking it was a 5efe(other than similar cc and bhp they look physically similar too).does the starlet need many modifications to fit the a-series block in place?

cherrye10 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 engine mounts r a defo on needin work, obviously youll need the gearbox and complete loom etc too Just making new mounts is not something you should loose any sleep on. What I'm concerned about is if you need to make cutting and tearing in the car's metal, relocating things like battery, substituting driveshafts and radiator and other things that may find themselves in the way of the new motor. Gearbox I have with the engine. As for loom I'm not concerned either since currently car runs a 1N and therefore has to be changed anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherrye10 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 hi; attempted some research and came up with this http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/engine-transmission-powertrain/36740-engine-swap-2e-l-5a-fe-finally-done-2 not exactly my swap, but seeing it was done into a chassis made for the e-series engines, thought nothing would be impossible. your thoughts pls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 As said in the other thread that is in a corolla chassis which is also designed to fit in a A series so it is wider, which is why it fits with no cutting.I garentee you you have to cut the chassis somewhere!
