s4 13b na into 1980-81 TE72 wagon (corolla)? info?

I'm turbo swapping my na FC sometime along so I'll have a nice na to throw in something. I decided I want to sell my impreza 2.5rs and get a 1980-81 TE72 wagon and see if I can get the na 13b into it. I have found some info on ae86 13b swaps but none specifically for a TE chassis. anyone know anything about it and whats involved?

I have seen a couple in my day. Front mount cover is the way to go. Mount it low enough so you don't have to cut up the trans tunnel. Modify original crossmember so as to remove original motor mounts. The rest would be straight foward...just plumbing. If going FI then upgrade pump and lines to high pressure set up. Plenty of space for a big radiator and oil cooler up front as well as a e-fan. Good luck and post pics of the wag. These are great cars.

I've been looking for a write up or swap kits for a while and can't seem to find any either.

step 3. install engine

^ lol, just that easy. sadly, this little project might never get off the ground for me. I still can't even get my t2 swap done in the FC let alone get that looking like even a normal car and not a junk yard/project reject. lol, but it runs I guess. someday, someday...
