I knew Subaru had pretty well standardized their parts and I was hoping that was the case here, but since Toyota was involved . . . . .
I hear back from Bill Hincher and this is what he had to say about the adapter:
" Yes I build an adaptor to use the Toyota W series transmission to the Subaru in any version, it reuses all the Subaru clutch parts except the disc."
"It uses a 9 inch disc from the Toyota 22r engine, they are 40 bucks adapter comes with the throw out bearing and runs $475.00 plus shipping"
Here's a pic.
I'm not sure if this will work for my friend since he's trying to fit it all in the BRZ so length is important, but if someone were looking this direction for a Locost then possibly this would help them.
Did a little more foruming. Man it make me love this forum that much more ( although a search in post tool would put this forum way over the top of awesome) But wiki has been the most help.
Wiki
"The 86, BRZ and FR-S are offered with two 6-speed transmissions, an in-house developed Toyota TL70 manual gearbox (based on Aisin AI's AZ6[24]) and an Aisin-Warner A960E, which is modified from that used on the Lexus IS 250"And the toyota W trans wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_W_transmission#W56No 6 speeds.
Honestly i suggest calling a few auto wreckers and see if they will let you measure the bolt patterns on the tranny and any ez ej engine which i'm sure all have the same bell pattern
The pics of both look damn close but my eye only has a 1/4" tolerance with photos so i don't want to say that they are.
Good luck!
