Definitely a CA18 is the way to go... I know I'm treading on thin ground here on a Toyota forum, but 4AGZE's are sh!t and certainly one of the more overrated motors out there. Oh, and if you have to ask questions like that about engine conversions, I'd think twice about actually doing one! Take your tailshaft to a tailshaft shop. They will shorten it for you and charge you a fee for the service. Expect about $150 for this, assuming you don't need new unis or anything like that. They will need to fit the yoke to suit the CA gearbox of course. Engine mounts can be a bit tricky.. the way to go is lower the engine into the engine bay.. and either get a mate around who can weld.. or take the car to someone who can! Mine cost me $60 for an exhaust shop to make up. Another option is to make the mounts up out of wood and take them to someone to make from metal. You could also just get a shop to do the whole lot, but you're talking $$$ there. Once the engine is bolted in the gearbox crossmember is straightforward (mine bolted stright to the floor actually), get the same place to make that up, just make it out of wood/cardboard and get them to do it. OMG, use the CA18 gearbox and clutch. I can't recommend any shops as I'm in Brisbane. [Report message to a moderator]
