S4 turbo engine with S5 turbo. I'm not too worried about the shifter hole lol, if anything Ill just cut it bigger. Plus I plan on reducing the throw of the shifter alot, and using a tall shifter up by the steering wheel. to match the height of the standup hydro handbrake thats going in.

Is not just making the shifter hole bigger,the turbo 2 tranny is way longer than the stock toyota unit and if you dont do it the correct way the shifter is gonna sit almost on the rear seats,the motor needs to seat as far and low as you can(like in the rx7)plus you need to bang a little bit the firewall to clear the slave cilinder.
Well Update:
I havent gotten my 13b yet, becasue I have to finishing cleaning up a and camming a v8 350 to trade for the swap. I should have had it by now. but I had problems with the cam for the 350. I was sent a 351 ford windsor cam rather than one for a chevy 350. I had the engine opened up and ready, went to fit the cam to the gear and it was to big ...argghhhh. I checked the paperwork and yep sure enough it said 351 windsor ford cam.. So I now have a proper cam and I should have the 13b early next week.

So your friend is trading you a rebuilt 350 for 13BT? is that correct?
If that is true then he is doing a V8 swap correct?
if that is, Awesome!
good luck
looking foward to see it finished

Well not too much of an update ive been a bit busy lately. But Ive stripped everything not needed in teh car, and have got to work cleaning the engine of all unneccessary emmisions etc I dont need
So I trailered my car to my dads work where I can work on it, its awesome huge shop with a lift good air supply, torches welders so many tools, its so much better then a tiny little cold garage, with barely any tools.

a bit more progress, in the midst of making the engine mounts
boxed out the crossmember for clearance, had to do some modifications to teh oil pan also, I dotn have picks of it right now
extra Clearance for tranny
The engine mounts arent done yet its getting close tho, the way I have put it in, the drivers side engine mount on the crossmember isnt modified at all, jsut the bracket off the engine. but the passenger side I have completely ground off the bracket on the crossmember and will have the bracket off teh engine mounted directly to the crossmember with the rubber mounts inbetween.

engine mounts are done, I have to modifythe mounting point on the drivers side, but Ill just finish that up quickly tomorrow, (no school tomorrow so I get a longer day of working on the car )
Passenger side I still gotta fill he crack in were I bent it. Pictures dont do justice, I know its not the strongest looking. I may try to box it in a bit, but it was a weird design to make so I made sure it was thick, its over half inch thick
