I've done it - but it's a tight fit!
You will ahve to buy a complete half cut (about $2000) and use the gearbox, etc from that. No it does not bolt in (very few engine conversions do), but the gearbox should bolt to the floor, the shifter should come up in the right spot and the tailshaft be the perfect length!
You will need to move the top radiator outlet and make some slight modifications to the inlet pipe - other than that it fits fine. I suggest that you take care with the clutch master cylinder line as I slightly bent mine with the turbo when putting it in.

Oh, and budget about $5,000 to do it right.

Also, go to a wrecker and get the brake calipers/pads/rotors off an RA60 Celica - they slip straight on and are bigger
