    Default RA60 gear into KE55

    My housemates got a KE55 Corolla that's about to get a lot of TLC. We've also got a previously running RA60 Celica in the backyard that has way too much rust to ever get roadworthied, so I was thinking about swapping some stuff from it into the Rolla. Does anybody know if the whole ignition system will go in without too much difficulty? Also, I know RA40 front brakes will go into a KE30 without too much hassle, but what about RA60 brakes?
    Here's some pictures of the dizzy, ignitor and coil.



    The numbers on the dizzy are 19100-37088 and 029107641, if it helps anybody.

    While the 21R is a rotten engine, why not shove that in the corolla:-)

    We've got a worked 4k with a 5 speed box coming just after Xmas, then I'm going to buy the car.I'm thinking it might require a 1GGTE Just want to do little things for now (mainly brakes and suspension) so it will last another 6 months and be ready for a huge power increase.

    About 10 years ago, when I was young enough and poor enough, I adapted a Sigma dizzy to fit in my 4K, that didn't take much effort, just a little shortening.

    Might ditch the dizzy idea, seems too much work. What about the front suspension and rear axle? Can you convert the rear over to discs?
