You have the whole rear end? Like the whole diff, the subframe, control arms etc? Everything?

Pretty simple then, just follow the factory service manual. Google it.

There's not much to it, but you'll want some extra pairs of hands if possible and at least a couple jacks.

nothing to it really, if you have the T2 drivetrain, its simply unbolt and bolt on.
of course, with a t2 trans, you need a t2 flywheel and starter and clutch kit.
The diff is a simple matter of lowering the subframe and taking out the halfshafts and diff, and installing the turbo diff and halfshafts.

Yup, I'm not actually doing a t2 engine swap. But i will being trying to swap a 13b rew into the car. Hopefully I can get everything installed in the weekend so i can start rebuilding the 13b rew block later this month.

Everything will bolt right up, the only problem you might have is with the halfshafts: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=967708 [Problem and solutions in that thread ^_-]
