Okay, here goes.
1.) A KE70 is more like an AE71...... or an A engine powered T-18 (TE7x) as you call them in australia. That said, you can fit an AE7x crossmember in an xE7x car, and the chassis between the 7 series and 8 series on paper doesn't look much different.
2.) So I assume you could fit the crossmember without major drama. A KE3x crossmember into KE2x requires just some slotting of holes, and those 2 chassis' appear more different then xE7x -> AE8x.
3.) The AE86 vented struts (JDM that we have in NZ) will fit on KE7x control (lower) arms if you use the AE86 steering arms. For a little more camber here, use Corona TT132 steering arms, these have the holes for strut bolts on the other side of the nut. You'll know what i mean if/when you look at changing struts.
4.) The KE7x has a 6" diff I think..... same as a starlet. So, look up Starlet to AE86 diff conversions. I'd guess that you could swap them straight in (disc rear end use AE86 handbrake cable) as the F series needs a couple of mounts moved like 5mm, and I can't remember anything else about this swap off hand. (dodgy memory, so check up.)
5.) Don't toss away the injection stuff. It is easy to fit and you'll appreciate it afterwards. (i've had 2TG on twin sides and 2TGEU on EFI....... go EFI!!!).
Anyhow, to make it run fuel wise, run a Low pressure pump to fill a surge tank, buy one from appco for 90L. $85 NZ at 25% off retail. Fit an EFI filter before LP (they are same as carby, just flow more). Have LP feed into the top of a surge tank, get a external HP pump outa a old soarer or cressida suck from the bottom of the surge tank, and pump into the rail. Run a return into the top of the surge. This would cost maybe $150 all up.... cheaper then buying carbs and manifolds!!!
6.) AE86 extractors would prolly fit. Wouldn't surprise me if the engine bay is identical apart from mechanicals in it. Refer point #1.
Anyhow........ I'm boozed. hope this helps/makes sense
