    Yep SA63 crossmember, engine isolators, engine mounts, bellhousing and gearbox, should make the conversion a snap. Looks like a trip to the friendly wrecking yard.

    If the engine came with the 6 speed box, you should use that, instead of an old worn out 5 speed. The shifter can be moved forward by simple repositioning the cradle, (there are additional mounting holes in the box), and reversing the position of the socket on the selector shaft. Ddeane has one of these boxes behind a 230kw 1G-GTE, been there for years without any drama's.

    cheers Chuck.

    not sure on the 4y bell, but i think its the same as the 3y bell that i used.

    i had an adaptor made by a friend doing the same conversion as mine at the same time.

    ill hunt around for what starter we used, but it was a simple plate to space it back 12mm and an ofset bolt to change the placement of the starter wheel.

    BUT we both used an aftermarket flywheel for the altezza. Mine trd and his was osgiken... dont know about the 3sfe .... i think that will leed to issues with the bearing? the altezza flywheel has the bearing in it, but i dont think thew other versions do.

    Get the Vernier calipers out and measure the depth from the starter motor bolt up flange, to the back of the flywheel. This will give you the depth required to engage the starter on the flywheel.
    Go and measure the starter motor throw, and you can find one that will fit.

    IF the starter spigot shroud is contacting the flywheel, find another starter with a different orientation.

    Another problem you will encounter with the clutch, the throw required by the clutch lever to disengage the clutch will be short. You will have to fit a throw out bearing on an extended snout slide, or find a weird bearing .

    cheers Chuck.
