hey everyone,
im upgrading my moggy 'pedro' to a toyota 4AGE engine,
before i buy my engine i need to think about what upgrades im going to need...
i need to think about rear axle, suspension and wheel hubs i have DOTZ TOUGE 16" alloys which fit on the rear hubs but not the front and then im wanting discs all around.
any help will be great, cheers guys/girls

You need to think about strengthening the chassis to handle the extra power increase. Also rear axle change to something like a mk1/2 escort although a bit hard to find now, the appropriate prop to mate the box to the diff. I would stick polybushes on the front suspension and add a set of telescopics and a nice disc conversion (either ford or marina based). All this stuff is available from a well known morris mods company :wink:
