    Default 1jz-gte conversion in Corolla

    Hi Guys
    Im starting my project building a 1JZ-GTE vvti in my corolla.
    The problem im having is the cross member and steering arm thats in the way.
    Because I have to drop the engine down allot for the gearbox.
    Is there anyone that can assist in this? Maybe some pics of the conversion already been done.
    Im going to make up a new cross member and can modify the steering arm,But maybe theres a shorter way or better way.

    Its the KE 70 but its the one with steering box. Not rack and pinion.
    One of my friends also did the 1JZ vvti in his corolla with the rack and pinion,and it was even more of a struggle. because the engine need to go
    down allot. Have you done this conversion before? What mountings is the best?
