I really don’t see why the supra motor will not fit in the Celica. I remember seeing a movie about an 86 corolla with a 3 rotor Cosmo motor in it people said it couldn’t be done but it worked. Also I remember seeing a picture of a 3rd gen Celica/supra with a 7mgte or was it a 2jz motor in it. Also wasn’t it a while back on ebay some guy that was selling his 240 sx that had the RB26-DET motor swapped into it, and the 240 has a small ass engine bay. Also I remember seeing a local guy I from So Cal with a 1970 datsun 510 that also had a RB26-DET and a 454 big block in a 2100 pound car. So I don’t see why a supra motor will not fit in a Celica. Just need a lot of relocating of parts and fabrications.

It's not whether the motor will fit... it's what parts he used to make it work. All of the swaps you listed, have the same configuration, so they're not hard swaps at all... using a FR motor/tranny set-up in a FF car, there will be some problems. Is the motor to be mounted longitudinally, or transeversly. If transverse, what tranny was used... what modifications to the bellhousing, how did he re-route the exhaust manifold (if transversely mounted, the exhaust will face the firewall with intake to the front). If longitudinal, then it must also be a RWD conversion... which is very hard and not particularly practical. What rear-end was used? Custom driveline? etc... It's the things like that which makes me very skeptical.

The thing is, everything about this supposed swap is hear-say... which doesn't mean jack. People can say all they want, but pictures speak louder than words.
