theres 2 ways you can do it

 

one involved custom crossmembers, tailshaft, diffs, manual conversion, suspension, wider wheels, fuel system, manual pedalbox, customer hydro clutch setup, intercooler piping, dump pipe and exhaust, mounts, pluss everything to make it emissions legal.

 

or for the much easier, and likely cheaper way its a nice and simple 3 step process

 

1. jack up the ke70's radiator cap

2. slide ca18det powered 180sx/silvia under radiator cap, lower radiator cap to its orginal height

3. replace the radiator cap.

the beauty of toyota - you need f@$k all custom work, just use other toyota parts like this:

 

4ac/4age pedal box

4ac/4age engine cross member

kaizen engine mounts

t18 solid clutch line

4ac/4age steering rack and column ( should get it with the x member)

 

only thing custom you will need will be tailshaft and g/box cross member

 

 

might wanna think about other things like radiator and making some kind of mounts up

and upgrading the diff to hilux or tarago

 

pm me if you want to know other shit.

 

 

you don't need custom crossmembers, tailshaft, diffs, manual conversion, suspension, wider wheels, fuel system, manual pedalbox, customer hydro clutch setup, intercooler piping, dump pipe and exhaust, mounts,

 

obv you will need fuel system which you could just run a VL external fuel pump to do it on the dodge, wider wheels? and suspension you don't NEEED to do the conversion but would be nice to run on some nice shocks/springs and rims

but obv this will come with spending a solid 4figure digit on the car

 

 

I'm 99% sure the standard low mount manifolds clear the 4a steering rack
