I thought about this many times cause I work night shift, using manual would keep me awake till I got home. But instead of using the gs430 as the guinea pig, I've seen lots of w56 swapped tranny linked to 1uzfe on the sc400s. I'm actually looking for a daily cuz haulin' the 430 on a 40-mile round trip kills me on gas. I now have to settle to look at a 1st gen tc manual to purchase as a daily. I then saw a manual swapped sc400 for 6.5k... then I thought about the gas again. Lol, anyways maybe down the line I'll do a 2jz or GS-F motor, skies the limit my friends.
