Nope, at least it wouldn't bolt in. You could, but the price for all of the chassis modification would make it a better descision to just buy an IRS celi.

My Celica allready had IRS before I swaped the supra rear end in. The goal of the swap was to get the crossmember for an 7.5" series differential and the rear disc brakes.

If you want IRS you would probably be better off buying an IRS car. If however, you want a bigger diff and rear disc brakes you can swap the solid axel off of an 79-81 supra. It isn't IRS but it is a big (possibly posi) diff and rear disc brakes.
