I did it years ago in Sydney.
Was easy,biggest prob was the exhaust.
Cost me $400 from OZ DEVELOPMENTS in Liverpool for the basics,engine crossmember and gearbox crossmember.
They installed it useing their dummy engine so when I got the car home all I had to do was drop my 13B into the bay.
I backed that with an RX7 series 2 5 speed and an RX5 disc brake diff and custom tailshaft.

$400 seems pretty cheap. am planning to put a 13b into my rodeo (same engine as gemini) thinking of bying a half cut for $2000 but there must be a cheaper option of doing it. I am in brissy so it would be sweet to find someone decently priced in bris to do it. Got quoted $9000 drive in drive out by maxfix but not willing to spend that much

$9000 is good price

max $2000 is what they would pay for the motor and max $2000 they would pay for microtech comp. leaves them $5000 just to put it in... Ouch!
