Looking for info on swap, ST205 full swap info hunt Options

[raven]

Hi guys, I am a 5th Gen ST185 owner, and I am just curious in finding info on making the full swap with the AWD into a ST20X chasis. I know one person in the swaps section tried performing the swap but had alignment issues, and that is as much information that I have found.

What I am basically looking for is the following:

o How well does the rear end align up from the ST185 to a ST20X chasis

o Where is the fuel tank usually placed?

o How well does the suspension match up from the ST185 to the 6th gen?

o Is there sufficent room for the driveshaft tunnel to make it from the engine bay to the rear diff?

o Any other links from people who have successfully made the conversion?

o Would purchasing a full ST205 cut in half be more feasible than sourcing parts from a ST185?

Well I was kinda looking for information if anything has been done in the past and not the 3S-GE, but the 3S-GTE

I am sure anything is possible if there is a tunnel for the drive shaft, rear lower portion of the firewall can accomadate the different sized transmission and center diff, and if the rear end of the car has the proper mounting for rear differential
