Building an IS350 6MT
Yes the transmission will fit the engine.
I will send the ECU for programming after I get everything else done and figured out with the rest of the swap.

Started swapping everything I wanted to keep from my original engine over to the new engine yesterday, as expected the used engine looks even cleaner inside than my original engine, pretty rare when buying a used engine! I got a pretty amazing deal to be honest.
Also finally got the final clamps and brackets required to get the port injection feed line installed into the car.
So here it sits, hoping to get the engine back into the car next week!

Jeff - it's guys like you who keep Club Lexus interesting. My hat is off to you.
If you ever get a bug and want to "clean up" the heads, let me know, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

Good to know about the heads, I don't think I'll be doing anything with them right away, but time will tell.

Judging by the pictures i'm guessing you either work at a Toyota or a Lexus dealership; your boss must be pretty cool guy since he's letting you use the shop to do your swap! Anyways, it's great that someone is finally doing the engine swap because this would be an alternative for me in case the stock engine blows. Keep up the good work!

Jeff. since it appears you have the oil pan off of that 350 short block at the moment, can you tell which of the two service ports in the very front beside the oil filter canister lead to the oil pan OR do both go there?
Long story short, if I ever turbo my 350, I'll need to confidently run the right oil feed and drain lines to the motor. Narrowing this down with pics on the internet haven't left me getting anywhere.
Just thought it might be useful info to myself and others down the road.
Best of luck on on-going project here!

Those are both pressurized, one heading to the oil filter, one heading back from the oil filter. You could use the post-filter one for turbo oil feed, but neither would be appropriate for drain-back. The one with the pressure switch (LH side) is the post-filter port.
Hope that helps!

So things are now finally coming together with the transmission and clutch bolted up and the engine harness, which I finished modifying and cleaning up yesterday, being installed on the engine. The new fuel feed line has been connected to the tank as well.

How difficult is the wiring Jeff?

The engine is on its way back into the car today. The only thing left is a fuel line that got bent when it was on the engine hoist, a bracket that was bent when the engine was dropped off, and getting the ECU sync'ed with the smart key/immobilizer system and then reprogrammed.
