if its a 4wd i ran into a few troubles. like the air filters hit the brake booster,I have seen one with the brake booster reposioned foward, like an escort? this seemed inpractical. I swaped the engine mount brakets from left to right and right to left.this off set the motor enough to fit ram stile air filters, but the fan didnt line up, this was fixed with a theremo type,(this I do not recommend as stuffed theremo = stuffed motor).so if you could off set the radiator and or shroud this would be better,extractors off a celica will fit with a little adjusting.I made a very short air intake housing and ran to a commadore air box. but now have made a intake manifold to run a super charger with su style carby,pm if interested in old parts. the 18rg is good in sand, mud and rally, not great for rock climbing or slow stuff. good luck
