looks like a bracket issue because i believe the wrong mounts have their screws at an angle, while the sc and 97-98 supra is a straight line.

You have 2 options. Get supra motor mount brackets or lexus sc300 motor mounts. Make sure to specify the "short" brackets since they have 2 versions. NA supra mounts might be the same but i can't confirm.

I ran into this problem with my swap and opted for supra motor mount brackets since the supra mounts look a lot beefier.

if i got it right, it's supra mkiv mounts from 95.4-98
both NA and turbo supras used same mounts(guess since don't seen different part #'s on supra forums)
they're 3.5" tall, while the 93-95.4 is ~5"

the part number for the 97-98 is 12360-46111
i just ordered a pair, they're about $110 for both.
i'll let ya know if mine work if you want to wait.

The 1JZ from a JZA70 is different to the one out of a JZZ30. The sump is different, I'm sure there are people that have swapped their oil sumps for the right ones but don't hold me to that.

Damn, great heads up! How does one know if it's a soarer set or supra set by physically looking at it?
