Yup back in the day Toyota made pretty much everything right wheel drive haha. But for transmission I'm using the stock ap2 tranny and stock clutch.

Love to see a pic or two showing the interior - especially how you worked out the transmission.

I basically had to raise the tranny tunnel and had to delete my heater core and blower motor assembly. As you can see in some of the pics I had to keep cutting more and more till it fit how I liked it then I closed it off with that piece of sheet metal. It's not show car quality but it works. Original carpet is back in it as well I just had to cut some slices into it so it would go around the new tunnel. You'll also see that I switched from the factory 6 bolt to a Ford 4 bolt pattern. I have a shortened Ford explorer driveshaft connected to an ae86 (86 corolla) lsd rear end.

No room for that trans to move. Are your mounts that stiff?

Yeah the mounts are actually really stiff. I bought some innovative mounts for the s2k and made them work on my crossmember. I believe they are 75a urethane. I can't remember. Said they were race purpose only. Don't judge me and my flux welder lol
