Buy an MA61 and chuck the 2JZ into that... the MA61 is RWD and very light and will fit a 2J without too much difficulty.

I highly doubt you'll ever fit a 2J in east west config in a ZZ series celica though.

If you meant you want to put a 2J into a 2000GT (RA25) Celica then you should be shot!

You would have to make the car RWD to fit the engine and tranny in. So short anwswer, no.

Long answer, anything is possible.

The question is, is it worth it?
