yaris engine swapped into a old skool KP61 possible?

[cnister1]

Hello guys!

I don't own a yaris buuuuut I'm interested in trying to swap the Yaris engine into my KP61 starlet. I know I know that the most popular swaps are 4ag or 13b rotary but I kinda wanted to stay as close as possible to it's 1.3L roots! And so the yaris is what I have in mind..

My questions are many but here's a few!

1. What would I have to modify on the engine to make it from fwd to rwd?

2. Anyone know of a rwd transmission that would be a straight bolt-on?

3. Even better has anyone performed this on any other car from fwd to rwd?

My Yaris gurus! I seek your knowledge and guidance! The Yaris engine would be an awesome upgrade if you consider that the original 4K-C engine only made:

The 1981 and 1982 California-spec 4K-C produced 58 hp (43 kW) at 5200 RPM and 67 lb·ft (90 Nm) at 3600 RPM.
