I had no response last time I asked but I'll try again.

Does anyone know for sure whether the use of the diesel gemini crossmember, engine mounts, gearbox mounts and tailshaft make a 4Z C1/D1/E1 clear the firewall and make the gearbox etc sit in the correct position?

Cheers.

Someone had mentioned it quite a while ago in regards to a piazza conversion, but has since disappeared from the forums. I would like to know before I go and buy the parts.

Look in R&D. Turbo Gem posted under piazza conversion on the second page. There is another way of getting around knocking the firewall back, that is by getting rid of the distributor. Im doin this soon. Im getting a Microtech MTX8, and using 4 seperate coils. I just have to do a bit more research on the crank angel sensor. I'll do a big workshop article in the near future (if you guys want).
wont be done 4 a few months tho.

I have to agree, I'd be looking at moving the engine further BACK not further forward, keep moving it back until something gets in the way, move/remove/modify whatever is in the way, keep moving it back until something else gets in the way, move/remove/modify that.. repeat until the #4 sparkplug is level with the bottom of the windscreen in plan view.

The wall is bashed already in the car that it is currently in, but there still isn't much clearance + the heater blower cover needs reshaping to fit.

The engine will be moving to a new body, so before I go messing with the firewall I'm looking into the diesel gear idea.
