I'm curious... incase my frame is ultimately butfucked... Cause there is a guy selling 77 Celica GT thats clean (for a 77) for about 1k If my shell bites the dust I'm buying his car
you could always try using a 3sgte motor in a rwd conversion setup gearbox dificulties would get 2 you tho, but u wuld have one hell of a weapon man
or u could forget the whole japanese celica and 4th gen etc etc and go for a chev 308 V8 motor with 4 spd auto or 5 manual again, that would be a weapon ontop of all that you could always just use a supra engine ??
I still don't get why people see chev V8's as THE ultimate motor, but anyway... There is a guy on Toymods who has converted (or is in the process of converting, can't remember) an RA28 to 4WD using some GTR skyline bits and a 1UZFE (quad cam 4L Toyota V8 ) thats twin turboed. It involved lots of cutting and welding and making new strut towers to take different struts and hubs.... Probably a much better idea to mate the 3SGTE to a RWD trans, plenty of info out there on how to do this.
