13BT in KE10

I would like to hear from someone who has solid advice (even better if from experience) for me in relation to performing this conversion.
I have sighted all the data available on the net and all links from everywhere under the sun.. These have proved to be very useful.
I am just keen to hear from someone (if there is another out there) with solid knowledge and understanding of this proceedure.
I don't want to hear a load of crap, or what the guy who knew the guy that did it and so on.
I will be performing this conversion regardless.. but would be more comfortable knowing I have covered all bases and the in's and out's of doing this.
Cheers and appreciation.

A mate of mine has done it, and i was also considering doing something similar. The thing is the ke10 that was used the firewall has been almost completely removed and the car will be used for hillclimbs etc. I doubt this is going to help you. A lot of custom parts are going to have to be sorted and it is alot of work! However could prove to be very rewarding if done proberly.

the 1st things that come to mind :
- exhaust clearing steering
- trans tunnel
- shifter position
- radiator/oil cooler size/position
- length of motor vs length of engine bay
you will have to put in a hilux diff or similar as you will break the ke10 diff the moment it comes on boost for the 1st time
you will also have to do brakes
unless you did most of the work yourself i would put aside 10k
