Hey guys, I picked up a 87 hatch this week ( they're acualy called a "chaser" in canada), I got a a good deal on it, the car is in great shape and he had a spare EA-81 and tranny, it'll be a great winter car while my 57' is parked. Now the tranny is from a 83 wagon, it's the 5-speed and it has 4-High and 4-low, and I would like to put it into the Hatch if possible(it's only got the 4 speed w/4-high). I did a search of the forums and saw a couple posts on tranny swaping, but i didn't see anything on this application, any thought's?
What about lifting a hatch? I see in pic. that it's been done, how would one go about doing it. Any detail's?
Also what about a bigger rim, I saw the info on the toyota rim, what about chevy rim's, they are 8-5.50", we are 4-140mm or 4-5.50", would the chevy rims bolt right up using only 4 of the holes?
Thanks
Andrew
