    Get a carbie 18R-G and it should be relatively straightforward. You'll need a front-sump engine and most 18R-G's have a mid-rear sump to suit a Celica, but you can swap the sump from you 18R-C so that's no biggie.

    The W50 will be a direct fit, it's the same size and has the same mounting points as the W40 4-speed found in an RT104. You'll probably need a tailshaft from a manual RT104 though, from memory the manual boxes are a different length to the autos.

    EDIT: if you need RT104 manual bits (pedal box, hydraulics, clutch, tailshaft etc) I can help. PM me if interested.

    u will need a few throttle linkage bits, and u need to have the big main rod shortened too {cut and braised}, the only other thing that needs to be changed is the exhaust, if the motor u get comes with extractors, just get a 2 or 2.25 inch system put on it, but make sure they put a flange in just at the end of the secondaries {TRUST ME }

    while u r doing ghe conversion, get a few spare diffs ready



    what area u in anyway, that house in the background looks familiar

    btw, that scoop will now be used for cooling your extractors
    JZX83+ FMIC+ Twin 2.5" dumps to 3"+ FCD+ 2800rpm stallie+ 14psi - LSD - good tyres = 12.85 @105.58

    If you need an 18RG which is ready to rock and roll, let me know, mines just sitting on my workshop floor waiting for a new home, extractors etc included.
