	Hey guys, Ok, I need someone mechanically minded to help with an amazing project, one that as far as I believe hasn't been done before... What I have is a v.rare 1980 RX30 Toyota Cressida, and very soon (tomorrow!) I will have a equally as rare jdm 1G-GTE 2.0 I6 Twin-Turbo to shoehorn into it, hopefully using the current 4-speed gearbox in the car or with a w58 if not possible. The problem is I do not have a clue what I am doing! I tinker but have never taken on a full conversion - especially one which hasn't been documented before. I need someone to help and guide me through this mad idea - someone who knows (and enjoys!) what they are doing and doesn't mind spending some late nights taking part in a unique project. I don't mind paying, but I am on a budget! This can be discussed - someone with a workshop/storage would be great as working on the drive through the winter is no fun! Someone please help! I would love to see this completed... And ideally before my birthday on 06/02... HELP!!!! Attachments:

	They fitted the later cressida's with the 1G engine, I would start with measuring the engine bay to make sure the engine will fit into it. Did you get the full loom with the 1G?

	Engine swop work can get expensive if you need that much help, as it can take a lot of time to get right and the kind of people who will do the work can charge a fair bit per hour. Last bill I saw for a full swop done well was about 3k.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

	Martin - it will definitely fit... The engine bay is HUGE! And there a couple of JZ and UZ Cressidas around and this is no bigger an engine then them. I have got everything - Loom/ECU/Turbos Automatix - Based in Crewe, Cheshire. Popuptoaster - I understand this, but I am not asking for someone to do it, more guidance and a helping hand if possible
