Which V6 Donor

And it's necessary to but it lower in the engine bay!
otherwise the rear clam did not close! it lies on the inlet manifold!

'Good point Enzo. The Allora rear frame is (somehow??) lower than a Hawk.
The 2.5 alternator will be at the rear, so alternator clearance at the front won't be a problem.
Clearance for the 4 cam head might be though, with the vertical bulkhead.

Worst case, tilt the engine back a touch, lose the 156 plenum and fit some itb's,gsxr 600?

Tom's rear deck/clam is cut out below the rear louvres too Enzo. So that shouldn't be a problem.
I think that's the case?

someone have an picture from the engine holder in a hawk?
here is a pic from a Allora,
so you can see what i mean!

The engine steady bar on a 156 v6 is behind the rear bank cam pulleys, not above, don't think height would be an issue.

[tomsredstratos]

Yes my rear deck is cut out,much cooler engine bay.

Thanks for all the information. 156 2.5 12 valve will probably be the way I go. Dont need loads of power.

Tom.

156 2.5 24v is the way to go Tom, it's the easiest, most readily available & the service parts are readily available aswell.
It's just about the authentic capacity aswell, shame on all those purists who fit 3.0 litre engines!

Which Toyota are you planning for your LB? I was planning to go with the 2GRFE.

[ProtoTipo]

The 2.5 156 has longer tubular stainless exhaust manifolds too. If you're on a budget?

[tomsredstratos]

Always on a budget.....
