It is a little bit hard then just making mounts. You have to put in a hydraulic clutch and on the KE20-25 you have to get a new sway bar made as the big ass sump on the 2tg will hit it. (this is where i got to with my conversion) Gearbox and tail shaft will bolt up if it is a manual car. With the mounts you can dodge the old ones to fit but the motor will not sit in the middle of the car, it would be easier just to cut some off a TA22 cross member and bolt it all to the motor and when it is in position just weld it up to the bare KE25 cross member.
hope I was some help.
good luck

Are you using a t50?
If so these will bolt up to the rear most gearbox x-member holes, this is a good starting place, this will give you the required distance, and then from there can modify engine mounts. Will required gear shifter hole cutting depended on the era of the box.
With mine i made extension which welded onto the fron of the standard mounts. However best to probably cut off the mounts an start again.

Do a google search under 2TG conversion or something - I did it a while ago and came across a NZ site which actually had the engine cross member dimensions for a 2TG to fit into either a KE20 or KE25.
Too lazy to look it up again ...

but that's for ke30/55 2T conversion
the ke20-series KE and TE chassis manual i have does not differentiate between KE2x and TE2x engine crossmembers, perhaps they are the same? the ke30-series chassis manual does differentiate and gives dimensions
i would be inclined to get a 2t and some ta22 engine mounts and see if it all just bolts up? if you can weld, you can easily make custom mounts out of existing mount metal and escort/cortina rubbers (rubber disc with bolt thread on each side)
you'll need to bolt the gearbox crossmember into the chassis rails in the holes 80mm back from the ones the K gearbox is in, you might have you drill out the hole(s) in the crossmember to get the gearbox bolts to fit
some people think a T motor in a KE corolla makes the front too heavy. unless you have the motor already, perhaps consider a 4ag or rotary instead, much lighter
