FS: 3T-GTE in to TA22 conversion kit

I'm selling one professionally modified (IDB automotive, Melbourne) and black powder coated conversion kit to suit a 3T-GTE in to TA22 conversion. It comes with a modified engine crossmember and gearbox crossmember. I can also include a tailshaft to suit a W55 gearbox if interested....
Cheers
Daniel

Are you sure the kit is for a TA22?
I only ask because the only thing that needs modifying to fit a 3T-GTE in a TA22 is the gearbox crossmember and the tunnel to fit the shifter if you are using the W series 3T box. You can use the 2 piece RA23 tail shaft or swap the RA yoke to the TA shaft.
Are you sure its not for an RA?

G'day Geoff,
I don't want to be a smart ass but my avatar is my car and that is a TA22 which is what the engine came out of, i was the owner of the car when it was installed (i helped the guy that did it for me...but i was there sharing the blood, sweat and tears the week before my wedding as we were driving away from the wedding in the car).....also, technically you don't need to do anything to mod a TA22 crossmember if you want to do a 'quick and cheap' job.....to do it properly though the exhaust engine mount really needs to be moved out 1 3/8 of an inch to accommodate for the oil return line for the turbo....failing that you can put a flexible hose on it or use narrower engine mounts but i prefered to use the standard TA22 mounts (easier to replace as a set)and also not have to worry about a possible kink in the oil return line and blowing of the turbo.....i'm 110% certain it is for a TA22
Cheers mate
Dan

AND LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO IT NOW YOU BUTCHER!!!
Hehe, seriously, the engine crossmember has the LH engine mount moved out as Dan said, and it also has Camber pins in the lower control arm points too. I believe the gearbox crossmember is standard W55/7/8/9 as the mounts on the body were moved back, leaving the crossmember standard, but am happy to be corrected - cos when you finish at 10:45 Friday night after early starts and late nights for the preceeding week, so some butcher can use it Saturday morning for his wedding - your memory becomes a little hazy!

I only asked because I have done this conversion before. The turbo issues can be got around without moving the engine mount and without being cheap and nasty. I've seen kits for RAs, I didn't realise anyone would bother goin to that much trouble for a TA.
I'll shut up now
