KE70 conversion-

G'day,
well, settled on the fact that a KE70 is sufficiently similar to an ae86 to make it just as good a base for mods, so I have some more q's. I'm building this as a "thrash" car for late night mountain road action and as something my girlfriend can (presumably with some difficulty ) potter round in, as my skyline's a bit big and grunty for her, ATM.
So will I make it a "ae"70, or go for jap GT spec TE70 style?
This means (to bolt in the engine and g'box):1.(TE70) Use crossmembers (eng and box) and mounts from a T18, with a carby 2t-g and five speed.
Or
2.Use x-members and mounts from AE71, and fit a 4AGE and five speed.
Now with either there are questions:
-What would be a good, easy brake/front end conversion,e.g bolt on in, with struts etc-maybe jdm ae86 trueno?or what will go on my struts?I'd like to stay with deep dish 13"s (obviously much wider than stock though, probably 7's or 8s) 14"s biggest.most MOney is going into the drive train, not the wheels or paint or interior(something it won't have-an interior!)!
-Could I fit a jap lsd ae86 trueno diff with disks , assuming I could get one ? I mean just bolt it on to the ke70 suspension arms
-How do I setup a 4age to run on carbies, e.g no computer, as goes a dizzy and stuff like that? I can get the carbies and manifold, so it just saves mucking about building an efi system(plus as I might get some psycho cams, it would be hard to run them on efi without spending $$$ .Of course If I get the computer and stuff for the 4ag, like a front cut, well I'll go efi and leave the cams and stuff alone.
-Would the 5speed from the k-engine fit either engine easily, and survive being on either engine?
-If I use the box for either the 2tg or the ae86 with its respective engine, will it bolt to te70 or ae71 g'box mounts, and will the bolt to the ke70 chassis?
-If I run the carby 2tg, fuel system form the old stock K engine should be okay? maybe a better pump.
AND-anyone know where I can get some 240zg style bolt on flares?
Info would be really good, as I want to think out as much of the "lego" side of things as possible before going and buying bits.That way I just go scour the wreckers, pile it in the shed, then pull the car off the road for a couple of weeks and bolt it up.
cheers,
floody
