Wow, let's take a light, well-balanced chassis and shove a heavy cast-iron six in its nose. Great idea, NOT!
This engine conversion is definitely not legal in Qld or NSW, but I don't know about Victoria; as mentioned above, you should check with the relevant authorities before you make any plans.
Legalities aside, this is not a good idea. The AE86 has a short engine bay, so you'd definitely need to move the firewall (read: major re-engineering) to make a 7M fit. And even if you succeeded, you'd wind up with a car that can't turn or stop, and the torque would probably twist the frame into a pretzel the first time it came on boost. There are better ways to make an AE86 fast!
