S1k323.iLL323.DpE323 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 if i do a 12a front cover do i need to change the sump to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 yes.you will need a s3 rx7 13b sump or a rx4/5 sump. use a rx3 front xmember...but you can get custom made repos with front plates and mounts usually cheaper than a rx3 xmember alone. if you use a s2 7 box you may get away with using your 323 driveshaft.. these have been done a million tmes and theres a million threads out there about them.. search and destroy is your friend.

danger Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Simplest way is the way everyone else does it. The million times its already been done. 13bt with 12at front cover with oil drain and front mount 13b sump. Mounting the motor is the easy part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corey_jorg Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 you will have slight issues with the exhaust unless you change to rack and pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1k323.iLL323.DpE323 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 the power steerin on the rotor motor i was meanining . ive already got me a wee hatchy i know whats up with em just not so much with the rotary . ive got a 13bt already and a 5 speed box motor needs a rebuild. i just wanna know the right stuff to do so itll be cert worthy in a years time when my licence is returned to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 theres no p/s that im aware of for the 323..so throw the pump away.. you will only have the alt,waterpump and eccentric shaft pulleys to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
