Redwarf Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 The very first thing you need to do is talk to an engineer to see what conversions are open to you.

andro0o Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 i might jsut add that you can't engineer a rotory in nsw.. but incase you feel like it anyways... custom engine mounts needed custom g/b x member custom tailshaft stock radiator wont be up to the task tunnel will need abit of a massge clutch set-up you can use the Hyraulic clutch set-up suitable for that gearbox wiring the list goes on......
anastasios Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 my mate has a 20b ke20 that just hit a 7.9 down the quarter
ke11restorer Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 rotaries are reserved for datsuns or whatever junk they came out in don't put junk like rotaries in a toyota :wink:
dfunkt Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 definately speak to an engineer, work out the largest engine you can put it (size to weight) then cross off 90% of your list :P and go from there...
