How much fabrication went into the whole motor and tranny setup total? I just recently bought an RX4 rolling chassis, and it would be a lot easier for me to get my hands on a TII and tranny rather than find/order a proper 74 RX4 motor/ trans. Any advice or diagrams you may still have? I'd even pay for them if need be.

Sick car by the way, gives me hope that I can do the same.

the tranny was a little hard, I had to cut the shifter shaft down 4 inches, and re weld the shifter itself, and make a tranny mount. took me an entire day just for that. motor drops right in with an old school front cover. I had so drill new hole and push it to the driver side 1 " to clear the heat sheald over the turbo. I put the TII motor in with a rx3-sp tranny and it all bolted up. I just upgraded to the t II tranny for the larger flyweel.
