KE20 Upgrades

Im about to buy a KE20 and need to know some info. I have already done a search but cant find the exact information i need to know. Your help is appreciated.
Firstly im planning to put in a 4AGE (jsut bought the engine mounts) either a 86kw version or 100kw version. I know and understand i will have to convert it to RWD and already have the info i need to know do carry this out.
other things i dont know are things to do with the gearbox, front strut upgrade, tailshaft and diff.
Firstly the struts. I know how to do a front strut upgrade in a ke30/55 using XT130 struts, shortened 40mm, with the spring seat shaven off, coilover sleve kit and ae92 strut insert, scorpian control arm (evens out camber) im jsut wondering if this will still be able to work in a ke20? or if there is any kind of modification required or parts that need to be different to make it work in a ke20? what kind of brake booster + master cylinder will i be able to use that wont have clearance issues with the engine.
With the gearbox ill be using a AE86 type obviously i will have to modify the tunnel so the shifter will work properly, is this actually legal? i know its easy to hide but would it be hard to engineer?
i was thinking about using a TA22 diff, ive been told that a KE55 diff is a little bit wider than a ke20 diff but still bolts in ok? ive also been told a ta22 diff is very similar to a ke55 type, am i right in guessing that itd be easiest to use a ta22 tail shaft that has been modified to fit into the ke20? would it be hard to put ST141 corona discs on the ta22 diff or is it going a bit overkill? i think the discs are 280mm??? apparently bluebird trx discs are a good upgrade for the ta22 diff if anyone can suggest something sutiable itd be good. also ill be running the car with custom flares and wider wheels so if the ta22 diff is a little bit wider than the standard one then its not much of a problem cause the gaurds will be pretty fat.
does anyone know the width of a KE20, KE55 and TA22 diff's. thankyou.
if there is anything else i have forgotten then ill add it later.
thanks again
