the motor has shit itself.
i havent seen or can remember properly, but its like the whole thing has seized up. cant jumpstart, pushstart, move the fan or anything. the pistons are completley stuck....

=?

would a w58 be needed for the 3t-gte? would it have to be modified inside the car (ie, where the gearstick sits?)

I think the T50 will fit the motor but may not be up to much abuse.

i spose, you can turbo the 2t-g at a later stage cant you?

The complication will come with your selection of a compression ratio. If you are replacing pistions in a natural-aspiration focused rebuild, you'd select a high compression ratio.
These high static compression ratios will not be conducive to re-engineering the motor to run forced induction later.
Yes, it is heavier as previously mentioned. I had one in a TA22. As well as additional weight, the 18R in my 22 positioned that weight further forward than the 2T, exacerbating the 'lead-tipped-arrow' effect. Resultingly, the engine fan was removed due to lack of clearance to the radiator. A W-series (ie. W50) is required for the 18R, and the gearbox cross-member and tailshaft may require replacement and/or modification. The engine crossmember required modification to fit the 18R mounts. Alternatively, (hypothesis) the RA20/21 crossmember may fit (/hypothesis) - good luck finding one!
For all the effort, invest your moderate budget in developing a good rebuilt 2T/3T hybrid with what you have, rather than re-engineering the whole car to dodgy-fit a second-hand 18R for the same money.
I'd suggest 2T-G with high compression, cams to suit, on a 3T (78mm) stroke crank with standard Solexes tuned to suit.
