If you wanted to go to the effort, you could probably shorten a S13 rear cradle and get it in there.

Guy in Australia did it to a 510 wagon and it seems like it went in fairly easy converting from solid due to the shape of the floor.

I have the service Manual for the 160j and 140j and in it it says that they share the same floor pan .
I have that rear half of a 160j and plasma cutter for the mount points ?
