wow, read the whole thread and the links to the FE engine.
Im guessing you kept the car from the get go due to sentimental value.
I wish I saw this thread earlier, I have a spare driver side door and a wiper hatch.... but you got everything covered.
Modifying a car is one thing, but restoring it from...what it was.... is really on a whole other level.
So much respect and props for bringing it back to life.

I still feel compelled to suggest you not install the interior until everything in there is cleaned up and the car is water tight. You'll spend so much time cleaning stuff up at the end. If that's how you want it, then disregard. But I hate to see you spend time doing all that stuff when you will just have to disassemble and start all over. I won't even secure my dashboard and install all the bolts until I test my A/C system, and I haven't even rebuilt my engine yet! I'm still rebuilding my brakes all around. G2 paint is ordered, and should be here in a week. Keep up the good work!!

thank you for your offer though!!!
Everything is just a mock up i haven't screwed anything yet or bolted
I still have to paint the chasis, roof is not welded yet body kit not aligned,
gas cap needs trimming and a whole lot more im just trying to complete the parts first making it show quality is not in the picture im not a fan of a strip interior cause its too loud on the inside if you dd it
i have to take the car apart at least 5 more times engine at least 4 times
i already know cause good parts keeps coming in and who knows i might get another
descent chasis later on
i need the car to run first no matter how nasty it looks to make sure i have everything stock righ then 2nd stage will take effect with mods for sure
Sad to say but im only 5% done with the car
send me some pics of your car bro!!!

Current state of affairs in in my build thread linked in my signature. If you need any particular reference pictures, I can try to provide. I'll have some more updates after my brake rebuild. I'm going to post a group of junk I've gotten done since my last update. Progress has been drastically slowed these past few months as the car cannot be justifiably funded at the moment.

nice build bro learned a lot from the photos
do you know if the jdm and usdm ac blower boxes are the same?
or anyone can chime in....

As for your question, it looks like post #10 in this thread confirms the blower boxes to be interchangeable: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...-drive-806643/
None of the other boxes are. I rehab'd mine pretty easily, so I know you'll have no problems.
Good luck!

so i still have time today after i took a nap so tired
i wanted to see if the oil pan is the solution to make this fit but i guess not
took me at least 30 min to set up the car engine on the hoist and bolting the transmission together
22 by nakahachi, on Flickr
17 by nakahachi, on Flickr
i dont want to carry the transmission although its light so i used 2 floor jacks to maneuver a more lazy method
21 by nakahachi, on Flickr
installed new engine mounts
18 by nakahachi, on Flickr
19 by nakahachi, on Flickr
20 by nakahachi, on Flickr
its time
17 by nakahachi, on Flickr
23 by nakahachi, on Flickr
i wanna see how strong this getrag transmission is i have blown 3 w55 transmission in my corolla
24 by nakahachi, on Flickr

this is where the issue begins
plate is 5 inches shorter for the shifter
26 by nakahachi, on Flickr
28 by nakahachi, on Flickr
27 by nakahachi, on Flickr
and the second issue
30 by nakahachi, on Flickr
still up 3 and 3/4
29 by nakahachi, on Flickr
oil pan already bottomed out been cut 2 inches something
34 by nakahachi, on Flickr
just a quick view on underneath
32 by nakahachi, on Flickr
engine just needs to be pushed forward maybe half an inch
31 by nakahachi, on Flickr
so next thing is to mod the subframe
its good i got a spare one to work with
33 by nakahachi, on Flickr
this week will be focusing on the subframe transmission shifter engine mounts and maybe transmission mounts also

perfect for making a bracket to hold the chasis in place so it doesnt get misaligned
1 by nakahachi, on Flickr
started cutting the wood and drilling it in its place
2 by nakahachi, on Flickr
3 by nakahachi, on Flickr
4 by nakahachi, on Flickr
6 by nakahachi, on Flickr
so now for the subframe need to cut it in four corners
5 by nakahachi, on Flickr
7 by nakahachi, on Flickr
8 by nakahachi, on Flickr
i ran out of sheet metal so i ran to the shop i need to make a new one for the shifter also
since its short and bought a heavy duty drill bit and cutting wheels
9 by nakahachi, on Flickr
will be cutting it tonight when i get home

i just finished working on replacing on the bushing on my friends supra all around
supra by nakahachi, on Flickr
bushing by nakahachi, on Flickr
supra1 by nakahachi, on Flickr
im holding on to this one cause i might just slap a 2j set up
the process of making a new subframe for the 4 banger is the same on the 6 but just a with minimal expense on power i picked up another 2j engine and consistently planning
im concentrating on finishing up the 2jz engine first so i can have a good measurement on it
will be back in the few weeks or months
this is were i wanted the fd to be right now
105 by nakahachi, on Flickr

corolla by nakahachi, on Flickr
corolla2 by nakahachi, on Flickr
corolla 4 by nakahachi, on Flickr
corolla 3 by nakahachi, on Flickr

keeping the glass
by https://www.flickr.com/photos/55674071@N06/, on Flickr

by https://www.flickr.com/photos/55674071@N06/, on Flickr
