toxo Pretty sure you need an Altezza box. Phil certainly did as it was first built with an IS200 box and it didn't work/fit.
Oil drains and pickup will be complicated too, as the engine is not designed to be mounted inline. Good luck!
the is200 box will work if i change out the bellhousing for the bellhousing on the altezza rs200 beams, that way i can stil use my box and the 3sgte will mount on the tezza belhousing with that in mind i am sure i read some whare something about moving the gear leaver or sumthing (will cross that bridge when i get thare lol). and true about the oil pick up the engine sits about 20degre angle in the mr so the oil pick up will have to be modafied to sute the siting in line
an mr2 will be noproblem to find and bye its just the altezza rs200 bellhousing i am finding it hard to get lol

Look at the 2 gearboxes and you will see many differences. The bell housing ISN'T a simple thing to swap over - been there done that. Just pick an RS200 'box up from Ireland or a Jap breakers they go for £350 - 400. You will have to lengthen the gear shift mechanism as the engine will not sit in the same place regardless what way around you do it. The prop will need shortening also. Then you have all the other things to sort out, the engine is taller then the 1G-FE so the bonnet doesn't close properly even with short engine mounts, the exhaust manifold won't fit, unless cut up and swapped about, you will need to sort out a power steering solution, the list is almost endless for an engine that is under powered for the car unless you through a lot of money at forged internals, then you may as well so the Supra swap.
I had this conversion done and wouldn't ever do it again or recommend anyone do it as its not worth the hassle compared with just dropping a 6cyl from the Supra in. The idea is sound enough the practicable application isn't.

seems a lot of messing when there is much stronger engine choices which will probably require similar amounts of work and will also be more reliable.
i personally wouldnt bother doing it.
