no no guys,
read the vortex forum, that is the whole breakthrough in my research. Acme adapters already makes kits for sidekicks to mate the TDI into them. they claim to have an adapter for any model of samurai and sidekick and even some toyota. well i found out that ~1996 4 door sidekick was actually using the same transmission as i have in the raider, it is called by many names but it is a toyota transmission model A44D, sidekick uses a A44DE(electronic control), where is raider uses the A44D(regular) and there is also A44DL that is with lock up feature. long story short, i talked to one of the guys at Acme and he told me the price and that if my research is true and i can use the adapter that is meant for a sidekick then i'm in the clear. So that is why i am asking up on top if anyone can tripple confirm this finding.
the only problem now is that there are no other mechanical bits to help me out, like motor mount adapters and so on, so it will take some welding and fabricating but it is mostly work not money, the adapter is the main chunk that some people pay 3K to get a custom one, where is this one will cost me 600-800 with the shipping.leaving some mulas for <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />
