AE86 Engine Mounts Bolting to 3S/5S Series Blocks

Hey Guys,
There is plenty of talk of people converting these engines to RWD format but not much is really discussed on what is done for engine mounts?
Will a 3S/5S series block bolt onto the AE86 4A engine mounts?
If not can they easily/legally be modified to fit or are there alternative mounts that can be used?
Or does it boil down to getting custom mounts made?
Thanks!

Would any modifications need to be made to these mounts? Or are they a direct fit? And what angle would this mount the engine on?

I would be very surprised if an S series engine just bolted up to a crossmember designed for an A series engine! The 2S is mounted vertically in the Celica. Note that you also need the sump, oil pickup and gearbox from the Celica. Oh yeah, and you'll find a 2S in the SA63 Celica, not the RA60.
