Ill quickly jump in here before you get bombarded with "Do a search!" from everyone here.....
Seriously though this topic has been covered A LOT, and the search feature of the site is handy, all your questions will most probably be answered here.
But seeing as im here.......
Custom intake
Custom exhaust
Custom engine mounts
Custom gearbox mount
Custom shitloads of other stuff
Probably an aftermarket ECU due to the fact you cant run a dizzy because it conflicts with the firewall
Same with the water outlet on the back of the head
Thats the first half of the list, theres lots of other things that need to be taken into consideration.
And I think just being 'interested' is not enough to put a 3S in RWD configuration, lots of time and money helps also.

Gabe,
As a side note, could you use any of the mounts from an SA63?

Have you seen the size of factory 2S RWD engine mounts??? If they bolt into an RA60 fair enough, use them, but any installer will be much better off making custom mounts for other installation.

No other way - they're bigger than your dick in the morning, which while I've heard ain't all that big, they're still big and bulky!

May as well use the SA63 bellhousing, mounts, crossmember, etc. - you'll still need a custom flywheel etc. though, and would be highly advised to make a custom sump while you're at it.

Just a quick question, it seems a fair bit of work gettin a 3S in pretty much anything  but if you sarted off with a SA63 and removed the 2S is it still allot of effort to fit in a 3S? What would be easier in this case? A 3S or a 1G?

A 3s in RWD is always going to be hard no matter what you start with. So the 1G would be much easier.

No, the only RWD 3S is the Altezza's 3SGE isn't it?
