Well, instead of boosting my post count saying "search!" I'll give you a legitimate answer. The information I provide should give you some good keywords to work off of...
Welcome to CL
The bolt pattern on the head is the same, but the work required to swap heads is more work than a complete 2JZ-GTE swap.
http://www.ultimatelexustt.com/ it's 195, and I have it. A great resource for a GTE Swap.
Rather than go 6-speed, your best bet would be a built transmission from Boost Logic or Sound Performance. BL recently had a car go 9.9 in the 1/4 with their built tranny.
Well, the 2JZ-GE is an engine that has a very easy life. One of the early turbo guys Scott (something) SC300T had over 100k on his GE and the engine still looked great even after many NA-T miles
Your other option would be something along the lines of mine. I bought an SC300 with 126k on it. Rather that fudge around with an engine that might need valve stem seals and would defiantely need a head gasket, I opted to bite the bullet and find a good condition 2JZ-GTE and go with the complete swap.
Having a Automatic may save you money and will definately give you more consistant 1/4 mile times. A high stall torque converter + a small single turbo = a world of fast-spooling fun.
And don't worry, my first post on CL was about the GTE swap, and I sounded like a complete moron in comparison to you

my friend had a turbo IS300 and he had his auto built by toyomoto, and it was a blast to drive. shifts were hard and percise. i think i will opt for the built auto when i do my swap or NA-T setup.

i have driven a car with a trans from toyomoto, so that is what i will comment on. i wasn't aware that i can only use local places to do work on my car.

Usually you can save some money on shipping, and SP has built some rediculous automatics, that's all
You've got eleventy billion options, I know
