Ring an engineer. We can tell you "yep, all good" or "Nope, not a hope", but until you talk to an engineer or your local regulatory body, you will not have a definitive answer. i have been told that a 12a motor and gearbox will fit in(with the rx7 engine mounts) and bolt up to the rolla housing.. and what diff is the best and easiest to fit??? any help is greatly appreciated I've been told the moon is made of cheese, but that doesn't mean it is. I doubt very much that anything in this conversion is bolt in. Buy a tape measure, a note pad and a pen. Start drawing and measuring. Should be able to work it out in an hour or so. A diff? T-series or hilux. Take your pick. Both will require mods to fit. Report

June 13, 200719 yr comment_181878 since this is open, id like to no whats involved in doing this conversion to a ke25... i tried to search but couldnt come up with much... what do you need to do in the way of cross members and mounts? do you need a custom tailshaft? does the tunnell need to be modified? any info would be great thanks....
