boy, oh boy. if we're going to have a 1JZ vs. 7M "discussion", can we try to keep it knowledgeable?
BICPerformance.com sells 1JZ motor mount adapters for 89- crossmembers, so you can bolt a 1JZ into the 86.5 chassis without problem. If that 86.5 Supra is nicer than yours, then by all means get rid of yours in favor of that chassis.
The problem with converting to RHD is not simply drilling new holes, I wish it was that easy.
Basically, if you have to ask how hard it is, it's too hard.
You're going to need to drill out all the spot welds on the firewall, and transplant the RHD firewall into your LHD chassis.
Its' not easy.
RHD cars aren't illegal, anywhere.
If anyone hassles you, tell them that the car was used as a mail delivery vehicle for a while, and that you bought it second-hand.
Nobody has to know, and nobody has the power to make you change it to LHD.
By all means, check your local laws, but the last time I called my local state police, they had nothing on it. They just wanted to know why I wanted to do such a thing, and a couple of them wanted to see it when I was done... lol
I never did it though. It's not worthit from my POV.
