ha ha ha...
the subject of transplanting a 3SGE/GTE into a RWD platform is a much discussed one, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a totally do it yourself one - most answers I've gotten involved really shaky engineering in my opinion.
If you want it done right, you'll have to do it yourself... and that involves figuring it out for yourself too unfortunately...
I myself am in the process of dealing with:
the flywheel issue
the crank pilot engagement issue
the starter issue
the manifolds issue
flywheel = I have to buy a rather expensive piece of 4140HTSR and turn it myself
crank pilot issue = yes you do have to mill about 4-5mm off the engine side of the bellhousing, otherwise the tranny pilot only sits in the pilot bearing about 1-2mm
starter issue = what starter?!? I'm in Canada and all the swap bits that are talked about never made it here in any vehicle I'm aware of. After much research, I decided on a very common Toyota pickup truck 1.4kW starter, mated to a subminiature diameter 106 tooth ring gear from a late 70's 1200 Corolla engine (it's very small diameter for a VERY low MOI), and then the starter will barely clear the block physically, but the motor will grab revs like lightning!!!
manifolds = well, yeah, ummm, I'm going to start with a pile of tubes, a lathe, a mill, and a TIG welder, and that ought to fix the manifolds problem...
I love a challenge, and this is proving to be a real challenge to get this project all tied together - once the transmission is mounted to the engine, I can fall back to all the easy bolt on parts to boost up the power output, so I'm considering this to be the hard part of the project, in fact, it IS the project - bolt on's are easy to deal with (when they actually bolt on without any mods that is...)
