DIY: Hopeless project.

[Rascal21]

If I knew the engine was going to be placed this far back on TA40`s I should have just bought the two the previous owner of this one had, instead of just one!

The silly part is that the 4AGE mounts line up some 6,5-7cm further back than the 2T.
And since the 2T block is wider than the 4AGE, the mounts have to be longer as well, this poses a problem on the passenger side mount because the alternator gets in the way considering the 90 degree engine mount fabrication rule.

But other than that the swap was a breeze, this car already had a TA60 gearbox and driveshaft, so I took a EDM AE86 bellhousing (JDM can also be used, but it has clutch slave on our driver side so youd need an AE82 slave) and bolted it to the TA60 transmission, this way the shifter lines up with the OEM shifter placement

I know the AE86 gearbox has a better input shaft bearing, so will simply have to make do with the TA60 gearbox until I can find a AE86 gearbox to swap the TA60 bellhousing and tailgate+mechanism over.
