I still havent decided what im doing yet. I know that the trans is shot trans pan had a lot of clutch material in it and there was a hole in one of the filters. Imagine since reverse takes the most fluid pressure to go into gear and then hole it in gear that theres not enough of the reverse clutch left for the pump to be able to pressurerize it. I'd like to do a 3rz theres a couple other engines id like also. I'm gonna go see ive i can break the rest of the trans first though.

Have fun with that. Reverse is notorious for going out in a30's the rest of the gears are pretty solid up against our 50 hp 8r's.

The reverse brake band is known to break on the A30 due to stress over time caused by the owner not coming to an absolute complete stop before shifting into reverse. Except for that weakness it's a tough and long lasting transmission if the owner drains and refills the tranny oil pan once in awhile.

I dont think the last owners showed the tranny much love the fluid looked good but that was prolly for the dudes before the tweakers before them and who knows who else ran the car into the ground. I'd rebuild it but i dont really wanna pull the 8r and the a30 out again and then put it back in again for the third time.

What do you guys think about a 7MGT-E in my corona. Will it fit easily? Id like some options espically from a2ndopinion.

7MG-TE would be a big job.They are a fairly long engine so recessing the firewall would be on the cards and extra weight over the front wheels would also be an issue.Have you thought of a 1G engine?Alot shorter than a 7M and roughly the same weight as the old 8R give or take.I have seen this done in an RT81 and I also did a 1G conversion in the RA40 I have but I have since removed it.
Cheers Brett.

M series swaps are quite popular in Celicas, so I don't see why not in a Corona. JZs are becoming more commonplace as well. Usually just moving the radiator to the front of the radiator support is enough room, and then maybe a pusher electric fan. M series engine mounts can be mixed with 2xR mounts to bolt in.

I'd like to do a JZ engine but you can find M engines waaay cheaper they seem to have a large aftermarket plus their abudent in junkyards which should make it easy to nic nac's etc. I dont mind having to move things i just dont want to cut a hole in the firewall. You think a M engine is really that much heavier than the old solid cast iron 8R? Thanks for the input from both you guys. I'm gonna research it more but I think its a go, its gonna be a total freaking nightmare i imagine but should be fun. I imagine its gonna make the pinion gear explode. A 1g seems like a pretty nice engine but ive never seen one before and im a toyota freak so their pretty rare in my area. I have another question for you a2ndopinion is make 150 to 175hp a reasonable number for horsepower i could make with a 22r without spending 10k on it?

The 7M is the same difference as a 22r. A bigger, heavier 22r. We rebuilt one for a friend, and it bowed the engine stand.

They're underpowered, heavy, UNDERPOWERED, and they like to blow headgaskets.
Just my .02.

Maybe try for a Beams from an altezza?

The head gasket problems are easily corrected with a good aftermarket gasket and ARP head studs. I dont see how a corona with a 200+ horsepower 6 will be under powered. I think its too much to start with myself. Beams is a JZ engine right?

JZ's are probably easier to find in a Lexus. Just walk through a Lexus dealer shop...
150-175 is fairly easy with a 22R, especially starting with a late motor. A good port and polish, oversize valves with slight milling and a decent cam, plus a Weber or EFI, intake and exhaust, and you're right there.
I'm shooting for very close to a 200 HP daily driver with a late 22R/20R headed hybrid, with 10.5:1 compression, then maybe add a 75 HP shot of nitrous...

Agree! If you go to update a thread, the text and background is the same color. The only way to see it is to highlight it, and then take a stab in the dark when you go to make a change, Is there a way to change the colors?

Since the above pics that were took in Jan 2014 a lot of mechanical progress has happed but it still looks ecactly the same minus the rims
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It sat around for about a year without being looked at then i decided to get on it again and I pulled the engine to fix all the leaks and a few other tasks the timing tensioners dident look very good so i replaced the whole chain assembly and every gasket but the head.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
During that time I also replaced all 4 shocks the sway bar bushing cleaned a bunch of stuff new front brake lines and pads and new rear wheel cylinders dident get any pics of that I also put a electric Oil psi gauge in it and a fuel pump relay and harness put New bolts in the converter the pressure plate bolts for 22r fit I used ARP.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
That Header was a pain in the ass it came from down under off Ebay but being for a RHD car it dident fit hit the steering box. I had it modifed to fit and it still has Issues Hits in a full lock left turn on the pitman arm and will be a nightmare to get a tailpipe attached to

I went threw so issues with brake master cylinders though one was bad bought another turned out I forgot I adjusted the booster when I used the M/C for a 71 Celica. I also had a buddy make me a plate to cover the fuel tank hole in the trunk. He also gonna cut the bad part out of my dash and replace it with the piece from the parts car.
