Fuel Injected 22RE

hi all, new to forum. got my new corona coming this weekend, first thing will be ripping out that ****ty 2.0 carb and dumping in something nice, can i please ask for suggestions on what to drop in.. and options of engines that will not require me to change the engine mounts, thanks!

That is so true, and they were also good burnout cars, if you could put up with the phenomenal axel tramp that is.

Also I must say that Corona's are awesome fun to get sideways XD It was the P plater car of choice back at highschool.

It is actually Illegal to put an older engine into a newer car. If you do this you will not be able to get it registered.

Besides you want put a less powerful older engine into your car, To do this you will have to fabricate new engine mounts cross members, perhaps even a new bell housing adapter. What I am getting at your a spending a lot of money to go backwards.

If you want to do this I could save you some trouble, why not give straight to me! I have a few loans that need paying off!!

Howdi all i have been through 2 heads already in my ST141 with the 2S motor.......anyway to cut a long story short i have 3 coronas, 1982 xt130 wagon, 1982 xt130 sedan and a 1985 ST141..... I recently bought a 1X(yes the holden starfire motor lol) and i want to put it in the ST141 even though it may sound stupid and or pointless to some i cant kill those engines. They dont have as much power as the 2L super response 2S motors but aye im happy with the starfires.

Has anyone ever put a 1X into a ST141 corona?? problem i have at the moment is with the distributor as they are different, the xt130's run a lead from the coil and the ST141's have a couple plugs that come from the fuse box (dont know too many technical terms im learnin lol)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Clarence
