Clutches aren't too tough to reconfigure especially vs the big picture of swaps of this nature.

When I mated Toyota to Triumph I used the Triumph rad. even though the outlets were completely different vs. Toy. I just pieced together misc hoses with lil pieces of galvanized water pipe as splices. That proved to be the least trouble-prone aspect of the whole thing.

I had to fab up my own tunnel due to complete incompatibility. I made a cardboard pattern, then made it outta sheet metal, then carpeted it. The shifter was well ahead of stock tho. The answer was to bend the far longer Toy lever back.

The exhaust could be the toughest thing but who knows, it may not even be an issue.
