Interested aslong as its not just a plate, and here ya go figure the rest out yourself..

[FE3-323]

^ please enlighten me what exactly are you looking for then short4stuff?

[short4stuff]

Well just hopefully the starter issue is figured out (it would have to be to make the plate work I guess.) Maybe abit of insight on axles, whether they have to be totally custom or.. I know this type of thing has been done before with the 4 cylinder engine (unsure which one) But not sure what their axle set-up consists of.

And shift linkage could be interesting. But from what I understand is there is the e153 from the mr2 and one from a fwd drive car. and the linkage is obviously different.

The E153 uses a cable shifter.

Almost there!

I'm gonna make a very good assumption that noone has ever done this yet? Also about the shifter, would be easy to aquire the shifter assembly from a Camry and mount it on the car? The axles can be made by DSS.com and it just takes measurments and money?

No one has anything documented that I can find suggesting this has been done with the KL. The axles will bolt up in a BG. Correct on the shifter assy.

^^Have you been working on mating a E153 and KL?

[DuRWooD]

Need the plate made

[Damkid]

I meant more about the starter issue lol have you looked into that much more?

[DuRWooD]

Ah. No. But I'm thinking of just buying the transmission and mocking it up loosely on a jig in the garage to check axles, starter and center diff. The AWD tranny is only like $300, still have a couple KLs lying around.
