nobody has written a howto for doing this, perhaps i'll add a section to the faq...
but basically first you'll need to figure out some way of mounting the engine. some people make new angle brackets and rubbers, some people move the mounts on the engine crossmemeber
the t50 gearbox will bolt to the std crossmember after you drill the crossmember hole out a bit more. ke20 onwards have two sets of holes in the chassis rails to accomodate this gearbox, use the rearmost holes
you'll either need an ae86 gearbox and a custom tailshaft, or a ta22 gearbox and a custom bellhousing. search for posts on toymods by "demuire" for the trouble he's having using a ta22 t50 in his 4age ke35
actually would a gze lunch a t50 gearbox? i don't know. next step up is a w55/6/7/8 box, which will need transmission tunnel mods and an adapter plate or new bellhousing (niteparts in nz make a good one). check matti kalahati's webpage to see what cars these boxes come out of (google his name if you don't know the site)
you'll need to convert the engine to rwd, of which there is plenty of info on here and club4ag
and you'll probably shred the stock diff pretty quick. nothing "bolts in" so be prepared to spend up to $1500 for a larger diff with lsd. you will NEED lsd with this much power
and of course it will need to be engineered so talk to an engineer before you spend anything. expect at least a front brake upgrade to be required
