808 find. how hard to turn rx-3

Hey, I found a 808 and I can get it for near to nothing(it is in rough shape). But would and always have loved the rx-3 how hard is it to convert?? is it just the drivetrain or is there more to it? And yes it is a 2 door. Thanks in advanced.

Hello

what year is it? My car was a 808, now a RX-808!LOL

I did the convertion a few years ago, I got lucky, I found a totaled 73 RX-3 wagon in a junk yard, that made it an easy swap.

All you need it the front engine mount support beam and make a mount for the tranny.

got any pictures?

I use to have an extra engine mount. If i can scrounge it up you would be one step closer. I think i even boxed it in for strength.
