2.2 turbo II already been done but why not the one I saw was very nicly done but very complicated fab work made import crowd made to be beaten byTD in honda body.

so anyone have any ideas about the 6spd gearbox's bolt pattern, compared to the 5spd (supra box, that is)... it'd be very cool, power with mileage!

I'm almost positive it's a different bolt pattern, I believe it was brought up somewhere at some point in time. It's nice to know that the supra trans will work but I'm still looking for a good Auto option.

Maybe I just found a way to stick to a manual tranny behind the 273 in the omni, (not a pipe dream I swear) that I've been collecting parts to make happen.....
Thanks to all those that contributed.... I know it's not td, but hey, this post sounds like it may spawn some WICKED rides...
Keep to the grindstones all

Use an AX15 bellhousing from a 3.9L V6 Dakota. Will bolt right up to that 273 and the Supra trans. My RWD T2 dream car??? A first gen Dodge Colt. Already RWD and if they could put Hemis in them for pro stock racing, then T2 will fit no problem. Now I just gotta find one of them Colts, hard to find!!!

How old is a 1g colt? And were they one of those early cross-manufacturer cars, like a ford ranger/mazda pickup?
On the pickup note, if ANYONE can find a rampage that isn't a pile of rust, let me know... the leaf spring rear suspension would make the rwd conversion MUCH easier, than fabricating parts for the omni... AND it'd be a pickup, to haul parts for my turbo 2.5 omni....

Ist gen Colts were made from 71-76, I think 76. They were used in pro stock racing with hemis in them. Heres one: Colt drag car

All this talk about rwd trannies hooked to a 2.2 puts a lot of ideas through my head, I've got a friend with an 024 that was setup for a smallblock V8 and rwd years ago I've been tossing around the idea of making him an offer on it.

One question I've never had answered is what are people doing about the pilot bushing in the back of the crank? most rwd transmissions use one but most 2.2/2.5 cranks don't. Does the supra trans engage this bushing correctly when used with a dakota bellhousing?

The 1G colt is a rebadged Mitsu. Its small and light, and RWD.

1g Colt was late 70's early 80's with the predecessor to the 2.6 for an engine. Pretty "zippy" little cars. Most are long rusted away, which is why I was surprised to see one recently!

I remember that toyota also put out a little rwd, about the same time. It might have been a corolla, but I can't remember. My buddy's grandma had one, and it was probably very close in size to the colt, judging by that ebay listing... Just a thought.
If you want one of those colts, try down south or california... You may even be able to get one from a boneyard out there, if the yards aren't like Michigan's.... I am still working on a local yard to sell me a rampage they have, but they don't want to... something about a bull sh#t bounty they get from the feds for killing dreams(old cars). I even offered to pay over the fed's price, but they still wouldn't hear it... What the he!! ?

Does anybody know anything about the conversion kit listed at http://www.allpar.com/model/daytona.html? The part number it gives is P4529533. I'm looking to drop a small block into a 92 or 93 Daytona, and I was wondering if mopar actually made a full conversion kit.
