Me and a buddy are kinda in the same situation. We are half way through the project of putting a chevy small block 305 into a 1987 supra. We tore the engine, 5-speed tranny, and driveshaft out of a 92 iroc camaro. The transmission pretty much fit perfectly in with the supra's stock crossmember. We left the rubber mount on the transmission and it dropped perfectly into the crossmember and the shifter was only a little bit off (we had to cut the shifter hole about 1 - 2 inches bigger to shift through all the gears. After that we bolted the engine up to the transmission and started drawing up the mount prototypes..... what was nice about placing the transmission where we did is it left us we plenty of room to get our hands between the engine and the firewall so we can get to the trans bolts without extensions and swivel sockets. the only spot on the fire wall we've had to cut out so far was right were the distributor goes but that is because we have a very large distributor. we currently have our mounts made up and we are 90% sure they will work... the only problem we might see wrong with is space for the headers. Right now we are only down to a couple snags.... powersteering line that goes from camaro pump to supra rack, what headers to go with, misc fuel issues, and budget. any info would be very helpful and if we can help in any way, we would be glad to..... thank you
