Particularly useful for rodeo folks towing a large horse trailer, or using with a travel trailer. They kind of declined when crew-cab pickups became more common and more comfortable.

Can those Corollas really deal with that much torque? I'm sure some work was done at least for the new rear, but I can just picture that car collapsing in half and shooting the rear axle out the front if it actually hooked up.

Turns out there aren't all that many 1980 Corolla's with 454 swaps around, and I was able to find some more info - sounds like it maxes out at about 65MPH at 4,000 RPM, so highway driving would be, well, unfortunate. Supposedly gets to 65 in about 4 seconds though... I wonder how hard it would be to put in a more streetable rear end... or swap the 3spd auto with something more T-5/T-56 esque... or both? God this is either the best or worst thing I've considered buying. There is no middle ground.

912E are usually around that price. I don't know what he is blathering on about with the engine swap though. I don't know what you mean by fooling a lot of people as the 912E is a 911 body not that 76 911s are anything special. I avoid all "lowered" cars though.

I wouldn't worry so much about the lowering, there isn't coils you can torch or cut, they just re-set the torsion bars. It would be riding around some bad parts of its camber curve but a 76 912 isn't exactly a monster of handling to start with.

It was the stripper model of all stripper models - 4cyl instead of flat 6, less options, heavier, etc. To be fair, the 76 912e was a one year run.

Synonamess Botch posted:I don't know a lot about Porsches, why is the 912 so poorly regarded/cheap? Former '69 912 owner here. It is cheap because it was a 4 cylinder machine. Other than that, it was a near-as-makes-no-difference 911 with fewer features. It wildly outsold the 911 and just never generated the snob appeal as a result. It actually handles better than the a 911 of the same era, but was indeed slower. Swapping in the flat six is a pretty common change. It never really made sense to me, the 6s are harder to maintain and much more expensive. The 4 is reliable (tried and true 356 engine, essentially) and gets great mileage too. Both cars are loving slow by modern standards anyway. Also, 912s are showing wild increases in prices in the last 12 months. Finding a first gen under $10k used to be pretty easy. These days, anything under $10k is likely to have a good bit of rust.

If I were buying a 1976 Porsche it would be a 912E one because I am poor and 2 because it will run forever except for the fuel injection.

Swapping a (subaru) boxer engine into a 911 is quickly becoming a thing lately. It would be a pretty fun swap, you'd get some condescending scoffs from the air cooled purist guys, though, which could be the best part. I assume it'd be in the $10k-ish range all said and done just like every other swap. What kind of 911 can you get in the below 20k range these days?

slidebite posted:How do they mount the rad and route the hoses in a Subaru swap? I know a lot of the VW guys who do it to bugs run metal exhaust pipes up to the front and mount a radiator up there. In the late models that had air conditioning, that's where they would put the condensers. Depending on the costs of the mounting plates to get the transmissions to mate to the subbie engines, the swaps wouldn't be that bad. I've seen some guys who have done subbie swaps on ACVWs for under $4k for everything. They're usually just swapping in the non-turbo motors though, ej22's if I recall correctly.

I think it's in reference to how the lettering isn't centered or spaced right, as if the trunk was wrecked and the badging wasn't applied properly after the repair.
