Really? That's stock height in the rear? What size are your wheels? Offset?

I meant to say stock rear-end. The car was sold within a week after those pix were taken. I cant remeber the size but i believe they were 15x8.5 with 4.5-4.75 backspace, dont know how to convert that to off set

I do not believe so. The headlight assemblies may work, but I have not tried swapping them before.

Looks great, love the engine! I did a full GSL-SE swap on my Rx-4 Swapped in the master cylinder, front struts and brakes, and rear axle. It's pretty much bolt in, but a few things need modification. I had to narrow the whole rear axle down and I had to order custom moser rear axles. I also sent my rear leaf springs out and had them re arched to lower the rear and and I added a leaf to stiffen them at the same time. I find the front end is really low and soft though with stock springs. On the track the front end wallows all over the place. I'd like to raise the front end back up about an inch or so and get some stiffer springs yet. The good part is though you I have disc brakes all the way around and better rim and brake options for the future.

I plan on doing the fb booster and front suspension. I'd like to keep the 4x110 pattern tho, so probably not going to go with the rest of that swap. It not going to be a track car so stiffness isn't a concern of mine, but I do plan on making some lowering blocks for the rear.

Your car looks good. That is the 76 right?
