Before you all say 4agze - i don't feel that is a cost effective item. Aside from the fact that these engines and parts are sought after by the initial D dorifto boys (pushing the price up) - its inevitable that i'd want to convert it to turbo, and that just isn't cost effective.

-Gearbox - what would i use? Would the stock box from a silvia/180sx fit in my tunnel / shifter be remotely close? (Tunnel already been hacked up...)

-Fuel delivery. Current tank useable with external pump?

a 4A will be lighter and give better weight distribution then either a T, S or CA/SR motor... but CA's are good motors and pretty cheap for what they are.

KE20 tunnel will fit a T series size, but needs (apparently) a little work to fit a W box.. could be worse Wink

. moving shifter about 6" backwards would be perfect imo.

for fuel, i'm using a KE20 tank in my KE10, with an intank Walbro/Holley pump. you can get 255L/Hr ones, and they are cheap (off ebay, look for Holley branded ones.. could be landed for $50 Shocked

) and they are smaller than most. just get a ring from something like.. AE82 tank and weld it to the top middle (still use stock tank level sender)then get the pump hanger, extend it downwards so it is sucking from near the bottom, and bob's yer uncle. you could also use a KE10 fuel sender, so that it will read empty when there is 1/4 tank left Wink

, i've never had fuel probs with this.... there's a thread somewhere with pics too..

as for brakes, i'd be putting in whatever fits under a 15" rim Wink

with the weight of the car, and larger diameter discs, not having boosted brakes should not be a prob..

oh and KE10 is 720kg, KE20 is more like 750-770kg, so you have a little more capacity.
