The engine is out of an 87' mr2 and the tranny is out of an early 80's corolla t-50 5 speed. Both can be found in the junkyard (i live in california so i'm not sure if there is many junkyards in britain
). Some say that to get the motor and trans in the engine bay either the cross member on the firewall or the front lower crossmember has to be cut. I had to cut neither of these ( although i did have to recess the extending lip of the front cross member to give the oil pan clearance). The engine has to be dropped in sololey and the transmission bolted up from underneath (simple with a floor jack). The floor ( the actual floor and not the tunnel) also has to be recessed to give the shifter clearance. As for the engine mounts i used the mounting rubber out of a toyota corrola. I used 2 inch tubing with eighth inch walls and the rubber mounted at a 45 degree angle to ensure that the motor stays centered. There is about a quarter inch of clearance between the pulley and the front crossmember and a quarter inch between the head and the firewall crossmember. As for the transmisson mount i used a t-50 crossmember and rubber. I flipped the crossmeber so that the rubber would sit inside and keep everything up as high as possible. The crossmember has to be recessed in a few areas to ensure that the transmission wont snub . The holes which mount the rubber to the crossmember also have to be moved or slotted. Then drop down brackets must be fabricated which can be welded to the frame rails. Its a pretty easy process, it only took me 2 and a half days to completely mount the motor and tranny.
