Default Anyone know anything about old RWD Toyota Starlets?

Like the Pale Blue Harris Performance one thas always at the pod...

Specificly what engine/gearbox/diff etc bolt straight in-- Do corrola AE86 bits bolt straight up? (both being old RWD Toyotas n all...)

The harris one runs a pinto etc but i doubt that all fits without fair bit of work.

Jus ive seen one for sale cheap, and they very small, very light, very different, and very RWD...

Anyone know anything about em, or any sites?

Toyota Starlets are used here Big time for drag racing one of my tuners workers has one with and XR4Ti lump in it, with little work it's doing low 12's (on his first time racing ever!)
Now work on that lump and it'll be doing 10's like the rest of them and a couple doing 9's

Starlets were very popular in the heyday of short oval hotrods - most used Ford crossflow or pinto power - from what i gather either is a pretty straightforward fit.
