not that hard really, 4a-ge in a ke70 s/w is my current project aswell!

to sort out what 4a-ge u want to buy, this site is great for deciding
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7177/4ageengines.html

and ure rite a t-50 box is great for medium modification, but u need one that will bolt on to an "A" series engine, remember that when buying.
as for mounts, no fabrication required. u just need the crossmember and engine mounts from either an AE86, or an AE70 (KE70 sedan, but with 3A-U engine) They will bolt rite in to ure wagon.

if u have anymore questions just ask, ill be glad to help get another KE70 project on the way!

cheers that helps me out alot. so the standard diff is ok?? is there any mods that need to be done to the gearbox to fit it in or is it pretty easy to do. ive also been told that it is a very costly thing to get all the computer and wiring setup and installed do you know anything bout this??

same thing really. As for the loom well if u have to fork out for an auto sparky to do it, well sometimes u just have to! at least u know its done rite, and if not, its not ure bad. but yea it is pretty expensive. Hopefully ure as lucky as me, and have an old workmate (mechanic) to do it for beans!!

good luck

anymore questions, just ask

wiring is easy, just extend the loom by about 300mm and connect 4 wires into your existing wiring loom
