13B to a KP61 Starlet - Cost?
 

Hello,
Tried looking for info in regards to installing a 13B in an 81 Kp61, but couldn't find any build up threads. Maybe some of you guys can help?
I have a 13B engine and tranny from an SA, I need drive shaft. My questions are, what else would I need, and how much will it all cost me to have it installed and running (estimate)?

Thanks!

didn't SA's only come with 12a's?
Anyways, Techno Toy Tuning can probably help.

If you're crafty and your engine is good, you might get away with it under $3k.

Okay so is very easy if you can weld or have somebody do it for you and can be done for almost no money if your engine and trans are in good shape.First the shifter location on the trans has 2 be address.The trans is really long and if you dont mod it the shifter is gonna end up 2 far back.Search for shifter relocation mod on the first gen section 2 figure out the shifter issue.
Second.Mounting the engine is easy.Use a old school 13b front cover and mount the engine the same way that it sits on the rx7.For this you weld in a new crossmember and done.Try 2 put the engine as far as you can and low into the chassis.You have 2 bang the firewall a little 2 clear the slave cylinder.Get a custom driveshaft and the rest is just electronics and some plumbing.

Shifter mod video.Thanks 2 peejay.

Yes, engine and trans are in good condition. Was running great in a 78 Savannah RX7.

Thank you all for the help!

This 13B came out of a JDM 78 Savannah RX7 RHD. Gotta check with my Dad if this was the original engine or not, but in any case, I'll be using this engine to put in the Starlet.

Hey guys... Which radiator can I use for this project?

RX7 rad or any rad that has the inlet and outlet on the passanger side.There is not off the shelf parts for this project so you have 2 come up with some ideas yourself.

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't have thought about the inlet and outlet on the passenger side.

Anybody in the L.A. area that has done a 13b swap to a KP61? Or a shop that's done it before?
Please advise, thanks.
