hi there,Neil thanks for your reply,just afew quick questions.. do you know is a 18r engine bolts straight into my car ta22 75 1600st? will the gearbox mate or do i need the 18r box? cheers bill.

Can't answer that honestly...start a thread in the "engine and drivetrain" section and you will get your answer(s)

Hello Bill
No, it wont. Your oil pan will hit your crossmember and your gearbox wont fit to an 18R(G) either

The most easy way to gain power is to find a 2TG engine. Your gearbox will fit.

If you want to build someting special with enough power go for a beams engine.. They are easy to find in the UK ( Lexus Altezza)
have fun
