Wiring an LS is easy. I think there are like 4 powers and a couple grounds and shes done. The way you run your relays and stuff is the most complicated part.

I thought I read somewhere that DGR wasn't making mounts anymore...
This thread is really useful for my brother's hopes of switching his 89 Supra to LSX power. It makes a lot more sense than fixing the n/a 7MGE and he's had a 94 Supra so the 2JZ is "been there, done that." Even a 5.3 truck motor would make a good cruiser.

My car is an auto so I had to buy the clutch/ brake pedal assembly. On the inside of the firewall you can see a "template" where you can cut out to fit the clutch pedal box. I cut the oem holes and enlarged the master hole to fit the larger wilwood master. The factory holes are diagonal and the wilwoods are straight up and down, so drilled the two additional holes in the firewall. So now I have a total of five holes. Two for the pedal box, two for the wilwood and one for the master. I noticed that the firewall seemed flimsy so I made a cardboard Template of the five holes, traced that to a 3/8 piece of aluminum and made a "firewall clutch support/reinforcement". The threads on the wilwood pushrod are 5/16 24 so I just tapped the factory pivot pin to that size.

So for anyone that is considering an auto to manual swap as well as using the wilwood master... you should do something like this:
