The first three things (diff, gearbox, brakes) would be the easy part. The'whole 9 yards' however...

What would you suggest for diff??

A shortened 4 pinion LSD borg warner from a V8 commodore?

So not a hilux lsd, So is the celica 5speed with heavy duty clutch setup good also strengthed and balanced custom tailshaft.

I was thinking has anyone put a 2JZ-GE in a escort and would it be legal as it is a 2997cc 3.0ltr and it produces 220hp stock.

Hi Stewart
To answer your question, Yes it does fit with the matching R158 gearbox, larger tunnel is needed, recessing is not needed, done a few as well as in the Toyota corolla box shape, if you are able to source a Half cut import-would make life easier on the build as the wiring and comp box is all included just have the immob code deleted and use the original Ecu
Cheers

Cant I just use a Australian supra and take out the gear that I need. 

If ur after power and a 'sleeper' y bother going to all the trouble of putting a NA 2j in... U WILL need to recess the firewall bigger tunnel hilux diff (cus there proven)

U wont see change from 15-20k... All for 220hp...

Y not jus put an sr20 in with basic mods for the same money and make 300-350rwhp...

Sure, 2jz-gte, dump the twin turbo set-up and fit a single turbo, simpler for the exh/manifold design.
custom engine mounts-should take about 30mins to make at home, throw the original scorts cross member out and bobs your uncle, over enough space for radiator and large Fmic

Oops,my bad, i totally did'nt see that, 2jz-ge,hell no, a complete waste of time
but 2jz-Gte-hell yes now thats worth the Pt

There wont be enough space for radiator/intercooler unless u recess the firewall... I hav an sr20 in my escort and its a pretty tight squeeze as it is (front to back)

Wat r you going to replace the standard crossmember with if u throw it out... Ucant jus weld engine mounts to the chassis rail and not run a cross member...
A set of custom engine mounts made properly and to hav the engine sitting were it should will take longer then 30mins to make as well...

Its a waste of time for a street driven car...

Jus stick with 1 of the many 4cyl and ull make the power ur after easy enough and itl save u alot of fking around...
