I know some might flame me for this but I was doing some research and the Supra is almost the same size as the Celica, wheelbase is only around 23mm apart and the width hopfully rotor to rotor (still need to get exact measurement) is only 98mm apart. the width wont be much of a problem due to the flare on the rear fenders and length can be overcome by a custom bellhousing that will be required. I got the idea from the Top Secret Supra. I know the Getrag will be a tight fit but it might be possible to do this without cutting the firewall. I'm know most of the parts I need and I know how RWD vehicles are set up so that is covered, I also have a live in welder (uncle) so fab work isn't an issue. Some might think this is highly impractical and they're right but it's a great concept that I will pursue. I'm going to hit up Supra forums and try to get more measurements for the drivetrain, etc. If anyone that can help with research it will be appreciated. Anything will help but I could use shifter placement, 3S-GTE width pully to output shaft and Getrag input shaft length. As I pursue this project I will post what I can and if it bombs at least there will be information for any other brave soul that wants to take this on.

Hey Kwanza im 21 and have built or help build 1 950Hp Blown Chevelle, 1 650Hp All Motor Chevelle, a 400Hp GMC Sierra, and now my next project is this and probably turbocharging a 02 Lancer OZ. I know it sounds like talk but if you give a couple of days I can find pics of all of these. The Chevelles are my uncles and the truck was mine, sold it for this car. I have track slips for the Chevelles somewhere also. I was told the truck has a video but a friend has the tape I haven't seen it but i'll try to find it. Given time I can show some proof.
