To answer the OP's question... IIRC there is a company that makes mounts for V8's in the older jap cars (they still weld in), although making the mounts wouldn't be all that bad either. If you stay carb'd all you have to do is mounts, you still have the drive-shaft and the rear to worry about.
The company you are refering to is likely JTR, Jags That Run (haha), but they make Chevy small block swap kits for the 240z/260Z/280Z, various Volvos, XJ Jaguars, and S10s. They don't produce a Corolla swap.

I imagine this would be a pretty straight forward install for someone whose got the experience in such things but if you've gotta ask then you probably can't do it.
