Being the one off i am, id appreciate any advice from those in the know about doing a particular transplant.
The idea is to swap the GT4 engine and gearbox from the celica, and in its place use an RB26 DETT and suitable rear drive gearbox from a crashed skyline.
Any suggestions, (apart from dont be daft ) on sources configurations or possible problems.
Im a capable kinda guy, but not having seen the dimensions of the said Rb26 engine, id appreciate any advice/commentary.
Thanx for any help.

One of the guys on the SX owners club transplanted an RB26 into a sil80, which is basically an S13 200 with a Silvia front end. I don't think it was that easy, but he may be able to tell you more.

There is a bit of info on this thread:
