Wants to ask about RX3 engine swap with 13BT

Hi,

I'm David from Indonesia. I'm planning to do the same engine swap as yours. Do you mind telling me what kinds of coil over are you using ? Do you mind sending me photos of yr engine swap about the gearbox position, engine position and etc. If yes, kindly send them to; david_leonardi@yahoo.com

Awaiting for yr reply. Thanks a lot.

Here's the Heavy Duty 3rd Link installed.

I went through a few trial designs cut from plywood before I was able to settle on the design I was going to get fabbed up. I used a local trophy truck shop to make my link. They did a great job. Exactly to print and the welds look great. Link is 1.5" OD 0.190" Wall 4130 Chromoly Steel.

Im currently in the process of getting a rear end for my rx-3, did you use a GSLSE rear end for yours?

No. I used the stock RX3 housing with '83 GSL LSD.

I made the following brackets to fit the links to the rear end, see attachments.
