    Not sure how everyone is gonna feel about this one. I finally decided on what engine to go with. I was deciding between the Beams 3SGE and the SR20DET and I've made my choice; I decided on the 13B REW lol. This will be my build thread and I will be keeping it updated until the swap is complete and running and beyond as I plan on doing rear independent suspension and upgrading the fuel system and other things.

    If its light enough, a rotary will do just fine, actually 71 is 2435 curb weight :)

    Rotary will be a fun project. Should keep the nose nice and light and therefore nimble. I love the pic of the celica under the hilux. Super rad.
