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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwarf Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 1: Please use complete words, and don't shorten SMS style. We don't charge by the letter. 2: A number of people have done it in here, search the engine conversions or members rides section. Search button is your friend.
