At the end of last year I had a RA60 with a 3tgte and a T18 in my garage, pulled both engines out, planning on getting everything good into the T18.
The strut tops have a different stud pattern and the springs in my RA60 were too wide for the strut tower (I guess that would be the same for all RA60 springs). I persisted tho because I had expensive shocks and also I wanted the brakes from the RA60. I pulled the strut tops of and swapped the springs too, which was a litle dodgy because the bottom of where the springs sit isnt made for that spring so the spring will be able to bounce aorund a little - but hopefully it will be fine (I havent actually got it going yet so I dont know). Also if you keep the bottom part bolted to the strut that then bolts out to the end of the tie rod for the steering, and install it into the T18, you will get extra lock because the RA60 one is shorter. It will also save some f*&cking around as they are quite hard to remove.
The other thing is, T18s have a 3.7:1 ratio, I'm not sure about TA22 but I think their diffs are smaller and wont fit. The RA60 diff will tho and is a 3.9:1. You can also get a diff from some sort of an ST that will fit which is a 4.1:1.
Between me and my brother we have ownded 5 or 6 T18s, we have always just gone carbie, extractors, exhaust and welded diff......cant go wrong. The only way we have ever blown motors
is letting them run out of oil!!!
If you are going to the welded diff tho, which I fully endorse, start saving axles!!
