These guys stuffed a 2JZ into a Honda S2000, so anything is possible. http://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=5795

Make sure that

1) the engine will fit in the engine bay. The Toyota inline 6 is a long engine.

2) Plan on using the Toyota gearbox. Mating a Supra engine to a British gearbox sounds like a nightmare.

3) You'll be modifying a bunch of stuff, and custom fabricating the motor mounts and transmission mount as a bare minimum. Make friends with a good welder.

4) You'll need to find a place that can custom modify the driveshaft to fit.

5) Bone up on the Supra engine control system. You'll need to swap over the electronic controls if you wish this to work.

Differential and axles, possibly also the subframe.

I agree with knuckles... sounds like hell... I know getting a 350 into a friend's TR7 in high school was horrible, but god it was awesome once it was running (Never did see it really "finished" before he left for the Navy and the car ended up in storage for 20 years.... but we went for a few test drives which were great!) But yeah, length is the first obstacle that comes to my mind.

PLEASE keep us posted if you do tackle this!!!
