if its a sedan or a coupe then its a ke55. i think the wagons were ke50s, not sure about that though. i have done the conversion to this particular model and so have a few others. there are many articles around about putting 4age and 4agze conversions in. i can think of at least 3 which are relevant on this site. check out: http://www.toymods.org.au/tech.html

i see getting a front cut in your case a waste of money. you will need to pay about and extra $400 to a gearbox. look into some engine packages aswell. you might be better off

yes they do. but just try finding a RWD front cut. i think you will find you might only be able to source FWD ones

if you dont need the gearbox, arent you better just getting an engine package. with a front cut you are paying for everything you get. that is, dash instrument cluster, brakes, shockers, panels etc. do you really need this stuff? is it worth paying extra for?
