Will this work?, RB26DAT/GC8- Options

[tto010]

I was having this idea of getting a Skyline R32 33 or 34 front cut, and shuvving it in a celica. i know it will take alot of modifications on the engine mounts, and might gotta tweek a little on the firewall. but will it work? it would have been kick-ass with a long-mounted straight 6. And was thinking of taking the whole drivetrain aswell. i belive its doable because in front-cuts you get with all the electrical and the mounts and everything.

obviously gotta have a victim aswell, dont want to mess up my daily-drive celica.

I also thought of maybe a GC8- (Boxer 4 found in the first generation Impreza WRX)

Only in the dream-phase atm, but maybe dreams come true?

Possible, yes. It will take a LOT of fabrication and a LOT of work. Check out the Engine/Transmission/Maintenance stickies. There's a thread concerning plausible/non-plausible swaps. The 2JZ is highly regarded as a non-plausible swap, and I'm sure the RB is considered impossible. But if you can do it yourself, be sure to take lots of pictures and start a progress thread.
