Which 3sgte is more suitable, Fwd -> Rwd Options

[dudeofchaos]

I have a project planned for my celica and I just had some questions for you guys.

I will be going for a Fwd to Rwd conversion so I wanted to know which 3sgte is more suitable for the swap?
I believe both (mr2's and celica's) 3sgte are trans. mounted? So is there one of them that would be easyer to fit to a Rwd tranny?

Also if you guys could come up to me with some parts I would have to change (and from which car I could take these from if possible) and stuff I would need to do I would appreciate it.

I know I would have to get these:
-Drive shaft
-Differential
-Probably change the whole rear suspention parts
-Rwd tranny

That's what's on the top of my head but I surely forget many things.
Don't worry, I will not get into this before I will have enough knowledge. I will soon study in car mecanic before I begin all this.

Thanks for your help!

Theres a thread on our local forums where a guy called CelicaGT8 converted an ST185 to a 1UZ-FE RWD with custom mounts, I think either a W55 or R154 gearbox and a MA70 Supra diff mounted to the GT4 rear subframe.

So it's all possible, alot of custom fabrication etc, it's best left to enthusiasts who are handy with welder and workshop tools otherwise you'll never really get exactly what you want from a shop.

Also I can't imagine the car being very good to drive as a RWD, I mean I've seen Subaru STi converted to RWD and for whatever chassis setup worked well for AWD and Rally, it certainly wasn't competitive as a drifter up against the Silvias and Skylines.
