Here is a link that may help to get an idea of the work involved. Add to this that the box height, therefore the output shaft of the box, MUST be set at the same height the original box is. Simply measure from the original box output shaft center to the floor before removal, write it down, then make sure the new box output shaft is fitted to the same dimension.
If you're looking for a more drivable EH in todays traffic, great idea. People have been fitting these, & many other Japanese boxes, since they have been available.
Is it hard? That really depends on the knowledge & skill set you have, along with availability of tools & equipment.

I'm thinking that an Aussie 4 speed gearbox would be easier to fit than the celica...should bolt in pretty easily? Any thoughts?

Hi Guys. I was wondering if I could get some more help? I am fitting new brake lines to my EH to suit the HR Disc front end conversion. Am I right in saying that you do not boost the rear brakes? Therefore a T piece would be needed between the master cylinder and booster for the rear brakes?

Ps, I ended up rebuilding the 3 speed. Thanks for your help..

when welding new engine mounts put steering on full lock and use EH sump, so you get clearance right...and make clearance very tight and almost touching.. even if it does touch you just loose a bit of turning circle which you have to weigh up against the following next problem.............

if you have a factory manual body and you go for an Aussie 4 sp the angle of the motor and box will tilt downwards toward the rear of the box. The box has to almost touch the body, its a tight fit. even then
this will cause the front uni to chop out... its a catch 22..

So I have put a hr disc front end into my eh wagon. I have put hr slave cylinders on the rear with hr shoes. I have also put a hr disc master cylinder on the firewall. Brakes are running through a vh40 booster. Booster, cylinders all brand new. I have bleed the system starting with master cylinder, then booster, then rears then fronts. Brakes build up pressure/pedal just fine and hold pressure fine. But as soon as you release the pedal, wait two seconds, the pedal will go straight to the floor again. I cannot find any leaks in the lines. Why does the brake pedal keep going to floor? I have bleed the whole system five to six times!
