I don't write english very well, but I try best. I have to move corolla AE82 (hathcback, 4AGE) technology (motor, all electrics ...) to AE80 (sedan, 2A). What I have to change more than motor and electrics (chassis, brakes...)?

you need mounting adaptors for the engine swap and get big brake upgrades since you will be running a more powerful engine.

Just saying if theres any finns, to give info in finnish...

He wouldnt need engine mounts as its a 2A block, it uses the same mounts as a 4Ablock.
Plus he will need the underchassis of the 4A-GE model, the AE80 GTi model, as per legal issues here.

wouldn't there be clearance issues with the hood since the 4AGE sits higher than a 2A motor? I've seen a 2A motor and it's small compared to the 4AGE. Just asking =)

Nope, the 2A head sits lower.

Okay being the owner of an AE80 myself and contemplating the sawp of this kind myself, whats involved? Brakes, lsd, front cut/under cut of a 1980 gti? whats involved with that? any reasons why?
