yeah dude,

its not to difficult to fit a ca18det.

trust e when i say get a front cut.

im doing my ca18det conversion in a 1200 coupe right now.

Im at the exciting stage of it almost being able to start.

The engine, providing you have the crossmember of the 1200 modified, fits in with ease.

make sure you get the engine as close to the firewall as possible an try an get the ca18 as low as possible from the crossmember. 2 finger spaces is the furthest away you should go.

the gearbox fits down the tunnel, no problem. It only touches at the gearstick spot.

just get a 4" grinder an cut the tunnel from the original hole back 200mm or so, you'll see when you get there.

Trial an error, thats how i did it.

You'll need to cover that hole after but thats easy. Bit of sheet metal an mig welder.

You can use the radiator from the front cut, the hydraulic clutch master cylinder an pedal, the throttle cable, the front brake setup fits with a bracket to allow for a different calliper an rotor.

I realise this is heaps of info, but trust me, its the tip of the iceburg. You can reuse heaps of things from the front cut.

Trust me when i say call Kevin Rowley on (07) 3814 4674. He's in queensland.

He knows his stuff.

sope this helps.

If it wasn't atleast a bit challenging everyone would do it.

I love it, its fun.

cheers
