as posted its been done before.
firstly the rolla motor needs a rwd conversion done to it and mating to a t50 gbox - preferably the hydrolic version but these do cost more.
engine mounts need to be made, trans tunnel cut for levers.
rwd manifold etc
can be done without body lift but easier with it.
over all they fit fairly easily, but its not a bolt in conversion - its different manufacturers being combined.
Would I recommend it? Yes but go for an efi version like the 4age instead of pissing in the wind with a 4ac.

for sure, the 4ac is a horrible device, i'd rather a 3k 1200

if you have a manual RWD gearbox to suit, from an AE71 or something, that may be worth something........
