you would need a te72 80-83 toyota corolla X-member from here (USA) or from japan mate. the mounts, you could use any 2t/3t mounts. try toyota3tc.com and start looking for them

You need a T18 Crossmember, steering column, and complete steering setup. Also a gearbox crossmember, gearbox, tailshaft, diff and an ae71 pedal box. Happy hunting. All standard parts, no need to fab anything much, just get looking.

i already had a rack in mine.. so i cut the mounts off a te71 (te72 in aus or the US) and welded them onto the ke70 xmember. the steering joint thingee does sit really close to the r/h bracket from the block to the gearbox. i unbolted it for clearance and even then it slightly contacts the rear of the 3t sump. but a ding in the rear corner of sump is not an issue :)

if using recirculating ball steering then its easier. use all te71 or te72 xmember and steering and it bolts up using the 2t or 3t mounting rubbers on the 3tgte engine brackets. a t50 for a T engine will bolt up with the correct parts, or the w55 will with an auto ma61 gearbox xmember apparently. i used a manual gbox xmember and slotted the mounting holes.

 

if you don't mind reading a heap of stuff then ive written up alot on my site. www.toycrazy.net under 'mark' and the black ke70 coupe. and also in the tech menu under 2tgeu into ke70 will explain alot on swapping steering and xmembers to suit whatever engine.

Look outside Sydney? Tassie is full of T-18s. I find it hard to believe that there aren't any. You're not looking for the parts most people raid off them anyhow.
