Cost - j160 about $1100
W57 with bellhousing and everything $500
Gearset availability etc
and also some motorsport categories not allowing 6 forward gears

sorry I missed this. My own car ran the 6 speed so I just ran a stock altezza starter. for W box version i found a compact solution to be a 20V starter as mentioned, with one of the two mounting ears cut off and rewelded another 30degrees or so around the base. not too hard to do with a bell there as a jig to tack it up. At that stage 20V starters were literally laying on the ground (I was wrecking a lot of FF front cuts for engines etc) so they were a logical choice. 7AFE etc should be similar I think. It's the high torque starter with the two thin external bolts running the length of the motor. I've found these to be the best of the 3 common toyota starter motor styles.
What are some other alternatives to use as rubber engine mounts instead of the factory Altezza ones? Mine both tore apart out after one meeting, and the fluid out of them went all over everything. Someone was saying that supra ones are a similar size and have the pins in the same spot, but have a complete metal casing around them to stop them splitting.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
something like these would be perfect (yes I know they are TRD ones):
These are the JZA80 VVTi ones that i was telling you about.
Same sizing as MX83 mounts.
I used mounts from a Holden Adventura (v8)
They are similar to the factory Altezza (rubber cylinder style) except are taller.
This helped me get clearance over the KE70 crossmember (in my RA23 Celica)
The mounts attach to the factory cast alloy mounts on the engine side of things, then they sit on top of some steel channel welded to the top of the KE70 crossmember (about 20-30mm high)
Not fluid filled as far as I'm aware.
Single stud top and bottom - from memory the bottom stud is offset so I slotted the holes in the crossmember width ways - and by rotating the mounts I can probably move the engine forwards or backwards over a 30-40mm range which helped for fine tuning the position.
Can get a measurement on height for you later on - I don't have the stock mount measurements on me any more as its been a few years since the conversion.
andy im using 2 s engine mounts and brackets and they bolt up ok to the altezza motor and i havnt had any problems these have been in the car since 99
