ke30's come factory with 3k's, so u need a crossmember and mounts from and ae86 or an ae70 to fit the 'gze. Then u need a g/box with an a-series bellhousing, u got either k50 (weakest and common), t50 (stronger and hard to find with a series bellhousing) The strongest would be the "w" series boxes, which u will find on 86 supras, cressidas, crowns etc. mostly m series engines. but this box is no simple boltup, and will need an adapter plate for different bellhousing, or custom bellhousing. Ure driveshaft may need customizing due to different engine/box length and different differential. As for the diff, there are several options u have. u could fork out and find an lsd or sum but i prefer to be creative and change the hole live axle, toyota hilux rear axles are are common choice due to tough diffs, but it will have to be narrowed and have new mounts fabricated to fit. Chuck on some rear disc brakes while ure at it.

just search the net for some sites ov peoples conversions. Theres heaps ov great sites out there

just do a google search or sum.
