WHY?!?!?!?!?! because time is money

Hello all, first off, i've just gotten a new vehicle, a '85 RA65 toyota celica convertible, and since im always looking for more interesting swaps in my cars, and more of a WOW factor than anything ive thought of a unique build idea, what is the possibility that i could mate a vh45 to the stock w58 or even an r154 transmission with and adapter plate, sandwitch that mofo in the celicas bay, and go ham with itbs, radical cams, aem fic (or similar, most likely aem ems), and then should i decide to make it a daily/sleeper/drag/drift monster, possibly throw a supercharger on it, preferably centrifigal so i can keep the stock hood without having that thing just hanging out there like "COME HERE AND LET ME EAT YOU" . Besides, ive already got the engine, and all i need is the materials because im pretty sure im going to have to custom fab the adapter plate myself. hello engineering degree

I thought celicas where fwd,but you could do a lot with a welder,and some steel.but I don't really think a vh will fit,it has a tall intake mani.but hey do u man. Take tons of pics and u can piss off alot of yuc-ota fanboys.good luck dude!

Older ones are RWD.

That sounds like a sweet build.

check out trademe in NZ quite often a guy advertises a cast bell housing from VH45 to toyota gearboxes should make life a little easy

Awesome if i could get a pre-made bellhousing that would be the s***!!!!!!! besides all i want is to be able to take the stock transmission and mate up the vh to it, so i could fab mounts up off where it sits mounted to the transmission, and hopefully have an easier time of geting that thing mounted in there

Why go vh, The yucota1uz is also a good v-8 and might be easier to swapp
