I have a S4 gearbox with a S3 tailstock in the shed that enabled me to use the original Propshaft and not modify the gearbox pickup in the car and use the FB starter motor. This was on a S3 FB. Not sure what clutch and flywheel you would need with a TII engine though, I used a 13b EGI one, but it matched my engine.

Have a rummage on rx7club.com for more info, there is lots in the 1st gen section.

I\'m not completely sure the T2 gearbox is different to the EGI one, I think the clutch plate is different on the number of Splines. I\'m sure only the earlier FC gearboxes would take the S3 tailstock. The T2 gearbox was quite different in it mounting as well.
