            I was going to ask the same thing.

            Is there some kind of package to make this happen?

            Like a kit will all the hardware to those who want to make the plunge to the Camry transmission.

            And John, whenever you have time please post pics of the setup.

              i still have a couple of the plates left. FTjandra made some excellent quality duplicates of my drivers side and passenger side mounts, which you may still be able to purchase from him. the rest of it is kind of up to you, i would need to read through the thread again but i'm pretty sure i put all the pertinent info in here. its not a project for the faint of heart, but for those of us running 300+ horsepower it is worth it IMO.

                      Thereildeal has not been on here for a while. I doubt he will get back to you.

                      I'd post in the items wanted section if you are looking for a plate.

                            ST 165, 185,205. 165 has open centerdiff, others are vlsd. 205 has triplecone synchros.
                            '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
                            '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

                              what he said ^ there are a few different choices of ratios too.

                              There is a narrow gear version of the box that you find in Rav4's it cant take the same amount of power so just be careful with that.
                              AFAIK there is little difference between a Camry Box and the AWD apart from the choice of diff and the transfer case. (and obviously the triple cone syncros in the 205)

                                so the best one to get your hands on would be the 205 one? what car would that one come out of?
