Hi, my name is Drew and I just bought a 92 SC400. I got it from the Toyota Dealership that I sell cars at. She has 191K miles, but still runs pretty strong. I dont plan on doing very many power mods that affect the engine (only magnaflow exhaust in the near future), but I would consider bolting a Manual Tranny to the wonderful 4.0 V8. I know the Supra Auto Tranny basically bolts up with a few mods, but can you do a manual swap for about the same headache (minus interior)? I just got out of a Twin Turbo Stealth and miss being able to precisely control my shifts. I know the Supra fairly well, but I don't know if there are any differences between the 2jzgtte auto or manual bolt patterns.
Another Question I have is how easy is it to tune up (cap/rotor, plugs, and wires)? Maybe even timing belt. I am thinking of tuning her just so I know where I stand as far as maintenance. I appreciate any and all insight.
