Need some top tips on a Beams 3S-GE into AE86 conversion

[fantapants]

hey mate


currently doing this conversion at home now.

the beams solves sooooooo many problems and makes the conversion relativley straight forward.

the 6 speed makes tunnel mods mandatory, but a w make sit easier as the taper on the bell housing is sharper.

decide also which is easier for you to get a hold of... a custom sway bar up front or custom engine mounts that bring the engine back far enough to clear the crossmember and stearing rack. The sump on these engines is a wonderful peice of fab, BUT is designed for a front sump 6 cylinder sooo it hangs a LONG way out front of the engine. If you can get a custom sway bar made, mounting the engine forward is a bit easier and doesnt mess the weight up too much, but for me, its easier to mod the crap out of the rest of it to clear the sway bar
