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.

As I said before if anyone has a reason why this would not work such as suspension issues, etc. then I want to hear them. If someone wants to say it wont work because my car is not a Supra and the engine bay is to small then don't post. This is a technical thread and I know the engine is a tight fit so unless someone can give me measurements on the 3S pully to output and top to bottom so I can compare measurements then don't say anything about the 3S not fitting. If it will not give me a good reason why and some figures. I don't get my information from opinions but if a group can give me some fairly accurate numbers then it's ok. The measrements do not have to be exact but if the numbers are close cool. This isn't engine building anyone that has a 3S doesn't need to measure with a dial caliper. The car will not sieze up if the motor is sitting 3 inches from the radiator. Shid the only thing I can find that even relates to your post is hood clearance. Also the whole thing behind the TS Supra is that it proves the 3S can be mated to the Getrag 6, which is one of the best transmissions on the planet. If a Richmond or Tremac which cost more could handle the power that the Getrag can then I would look into them.
