it souldnt be too hard, the engine mounts on the 13b are very simple. im still not impressed with the 4ag, they just wont make any power

no power from a 4ag wrong but its way more expensive then tha rot.

anyway the sr5 and gts corolla is rwd til 88 so there it is just get the welder and then go to work!

good luck its a less popular swap than the rot in the 79-82 but itll work!
