The bellhousing looks to be a Supra.
Clutch plate is a custom item splined for the Toyota input shaft, but need to know what diameter pressure plate you are using as the 253 is smaller than a 308. Spigot bush is also custom made. Maybe dummy fit up the gearbox without the clutch, pressure plate etc in there to make sure the front of the input shaft is sitting in the bush correctly. Speedo cable is also a custom made one. Rear gearbox mount is a factory one that you can easily adapt to your cross member. Gear shift should come out through the factory hole in the floor, only around 1” further forward.
Dellow sell a yoke to adapt to your tail shaft and from memory you don’t need to shorten the tailshaft – could be wrong.
These are a nice gearbox to use – just be kind on the 1st to 2nd gear change
