Supra transmission swap? adaptor kit question

Everyone knows nothing compares to the smooth shifts and durability of a toyota transmission... i saw a thread about this a while back and tired seaching but came up with nothing, i saw about putting a supra transmission into an 13b (6 port) with an adaptor kit, my question is where are these kits available?

btw i did do a search for this thread and couldn't find it again.

any help is appreciated.

now if it were a supra six speed going in, then it could be worth the effort.

This place has a few adaptors. I'm curious about this one though..

S4/5 Gearbox shifter modification (mounts shifter forward 100mm for easy fitting into your early Mazda) - $120

I wonder if that includes SA's, hmm.

100mm is almot 4"s so I'm guessing it's for the SA's. When I did my shifter mod to get the T2 trans in my FB it wasn't 4"s I'l tell you that! More like 1.5

Does anybody make trans rebuild parts with stronger internals for the stock trans? What do roadcourse SCCA racers do to get the power down with their FBs? They must use the stock trans right?

Ok,anybody know about this:

http://www.mazdacomp.com/drivetrain.htm

At the top is a Ford T5 adapter. I would think a T5 would be able to handle MUCH more power than a 1st gen Supra trans, and be easier and cheaper to find and moddify gear ratios. But those are notchy, right?
