How much does it cost to get a new 2jz-gte and a 6 speed getrag transmission.

too much


Different engine and tranny for different car. Might not swap right. This is not a Honda. If you insist, prepare to spend over 15k at least.

Giro, coming from someone that has swapped one engine for another :eek: the process is expensive and long. The only way I would ever consider such a prospect would be if I had a complete Supra TT donor car.

What is your goal? A manual tranny in an LS would be custom only as no LS's came with the proper interior parts.

If you want 400-500hp you can do that with the V8. If you want more it would take a ton of work to the L6TT and you could do it for less (total) than converting and upgrading to the TT.
