Default sc400

Thought about buying one and doing a supra tt swap was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of how everything works.

sc300 is a much easier chassis to work with. I'd say go for it.

ok sc300= inline 6, sc400=v8. plus you could get a sc300 with a stick. why start with the wrong chassis, just do the sc300.

Not to mention the 300's are probably a little cheaper.

actually not really but I yeah I figuered the sc300 is the way to go if I want keep it a stick if its going to be an auto either way I dont guess it matters.Alot of people have been doing 1jz swaps but they say parts are hard to come by since the motor was not produced here.So I figure a USDM 2jzgtte is the way to go.They have lots of aftermarket support and oem.But what I am wondering now is can I use the stock tranny with the 2jzgtte or do have I have to have and gtte auto or 6 speed.Ive been doing reseach but there really hasnt been a whole lot of this out there in a sc.Im probaly going to end buying a rolled supra or something and gut everything I need.So if anyone has any experience or may tell me where to look let me know.

Still underrating the 1UZ even in Toyota chat I see! No, 1UZs didnt come with manual trannys but you can just convert to one (SC300 manuals are incredibly rare anyways). Turbo/supercharge it and you have (dare I say it?) a bit more potential than a 2JZ
