I second that Smile Chris
But just putting the engine will not be such a hard task , but the difference between it being a usable car , and a complete useless heap will not be very easy . I remember the days when i got my car first going with the stock diff 13" wheels ,stock suspension i was like driving in the wet even when it was dry . Then came the second round on modifications which was all the normal sprinter suspension modifications {as most people post about} and brake mods{the normal conversions } that could get the car around to road at a fare speed but to to safely . But when you start to go over the limit of this old car , then throw all that crap away , and all that remains toyota is the body , so if you not a complete ae86 nut , or just did it to because you can , or to shit porsche owners at the track . Why not just start with a rotary powered car , i have been there with rx2's and rx3's and there where great cars a little unaerodynamic and well unpredictable when on the edge { maybe due to the dated steering design } which i guess you could work on { i never did thats maybe why my rx3 cleared a big patch of trees one night }. And while on the topic of steering there is no way you could control a ae86 with that power with the standard steering turns lock to lock , so thats one more thing you will have to change ,which after looking at this in a shell i am messing about for this same conversion { will try to post a picture later } is going to be a nightmare which would be easy if you wanted to completly stuff the front suspension geometry forever , which is ok if you go to the sr because you throw the front end away anyway . Its all i guess how fast you want to go ? i am happy with 5 secs to 100kph 250kph topspeed if i wanted to go faster safely another car a would pick . Thats my thoughts on this subject .
