This weekend i tried shoehorn a 3S-GE beams into my KE20. Like i thought, it didn't fit. But not in the places i expected.
I had to remove the anti roll bar to clear the oil pan, the oil filter hits where the caster bar is attached to the frame. And the worst is rear bottom end and clutch housing laying upon the steering bar. AND the engine crossmember should be flipped left-right, moved 10 cm forward or be replaced with something else to clear the same area as steering.
I swapped it in WITH the j160 since it refused to come off the the engine. Actually it fits! Except the gear stick ended up 20cm rear of the K40 hole. Anyway I have plans to weld over the entire tunnel from RS200 instead of widen out the old one. A bonus is a free tranny crossmember incl. holes for it.
And the front suspension is to be upgraded so i hope i can use a celica supra crossmember as well as rest of the suspension, brakes and rack steering
