    hey people, ive got a 4k in my rolla atm and i have heard that its heaps easy to put a 7k in, so i was wondering if they were any good, and also if the manifold from the 4k will bolt up the same??

    It is a very easy conversion. Most things should bolt up and swap over. Not sure specificaly about the manifolds, but they look the same and should bolt up or come close. The 7K dizzy is worth having as it's electronic ignition, and your 4K most likely is not.

    rollaclub.com is the place

    you'll have to mod the sump too as its too tall, and 4k manifolds fit.

    Torque monster that is bullet proof

    I reckon you could get one of these to rev at 8500 all day every day

    Balance the bottom end, stick a cam in it and it would haul.

    Being EFI theres so much more you could do with it

    in standard for they arnt exactly exeptional, don't forget they are an old van motor not a "sports" orentated motor like a 4age etc.

    they seem to be quite popular. being a 1.8 you would expet descent pull over a 4k, i guess they would be quite similar to a 3tc in performance, which i can tell you isnt too bad even in stock form. bigger carb (weber) and larger exhaust and should go quite descent and cheapish to.

    Some are EFI, as in "7K-E", the older ones are carby.
