 T22 bitz in to an RA23

A mate and I where thinking of buying a TA22 which has various things in it that he needs to fix up his RA23(dash and so forth), will the 22 suspension bolt on to the 23?? or aren't they compatiable.... the 22 has K-mac suspension in it.
Will the diff and gearbox from the 22 fit the 23? apparently its running a 2 litre in it, but I'm not sure if its just the stock diff, which we are assuming it is..
any input would be appreciated thanks..

Hi there....
The RA23 and TA23's are actually pretty much the same as a TA22 up untill the very front edge of the doors. The entire front end is different.
So im not totally sure about the suspension swapping over, but they are very similar. So it may work. I think the struts in the TA22 are actually slightly shorter than an *A23's. And as for the dash, the TA22's had a completely different setup.
The diff should fit in tho. I dont think there were any changes in the diff between them, apart from slightly bigger bearings in the *A23's.

ok well g'box's won't bolt up at all
see the "T" in TA22 and TA23 is the type of engine it has.
and the "R" in RA** means it has a R type engine.
the diffs can be swaped over as well as the rear upper and lower control arms.
The Dash......ah no. completly different setup.
so mainly from the dash back, is compatable and thats pretty much it.
Sorry for the dissapointment, I found out the hard way.
