alright guys i tried dropping in my 2jz and had fitment issues, first i didnt hammer out the firewall as im not sure exactly where i have to hammer it out any pics would help i went through this whole thread and only saw 2 pics which didnt help much. Also my driftmotion brackets did not work because i was trying to use the stock oem location, as someone said in a previous post u have to use the holes for the fuel damp then it will work.
So if someone could help me out by posting pics or linking someones thread about making the engine fit, that would be much appreciated.
This is a rear sump jdm supra 2jz, with usdm twins if that helps.

I am 99% finished with the swap and I've come across a few items that no one else has ever mentioned before;
2) You definitely need to hammer your firewall to help you drop the engine in due to the intake portion of the rear twin. On top of hammering the firewall, you need to drop your ABS lines as low as possible by removing all the mounting tabs.
3) If using the BIC brackets, they are way too thin to use with the stock engine bracket bolts. You'll need to find some 20mm length bolts to use with those brackets. I ended up using the auto flexplate bolts which fit perfectly with washers I had laying around. You also use the rear most bolt holes on both sides. The intake side requires unbolting the fuel pressure dampener and using it's bolts for the bracket.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. I figured it's worth mentioning to those of you who are not expecting it like I did.
Lol i was freaking out when the brackets didnt work then i called aaron at driftmotion and he told me about using the fuel damp bolts for the bracket, do u have any more pics of the hammering of the firewall?
