Default 1UZ into a SC300????

It seems that making a 400 into manual is a bit of a hassel, but has anyone ever thought of, or have actually swapped a 1uz into an already manual 300?? Would it be as simple as getting the adapter plate, motor mounts and CPU??

Please tell me you thought about this late night drunk.

SC400 auto to manual is easier than SC300 manual to 1uz manual.

Not only are you now doing an engine swap, you STILL need to convert the 1uzfe into a manual.

HAHAHA! Okay maybe i'm slow but, what do you mean "1uzfe into a manual". Isn't that the point of the adapter plate, to make the tranny manual?

You need more than the adapter. See link

Just because the SC300 is manual already, that means you HAVE the driveshaft, tranny, clutch pedals... but you still need everything else.

I think you should look @ that link first and then post back. That should give you the understanding of how to do the swap...
