Default 2jz-gte swap into IS300? Difficulites?

I have a complete Supra TT drivetrain which includes:

GTE bottom end
GTE head
V160 trans
TT driveshaft
supra TT rearend
ecu + harness'


Question i have for you guys is:

Is there any "special" things that need to be done to perform the swap?
1.)-Does the driveshaft need to be customized?
2.)-Will the supra 6spd rear diff fit?
3.) -Will my supra TT brakes fit on the is300?



Any helpful hints from someone who performed the swap would be apreciated.

Thanks!

1. YES
2. YES with modification
3. YES with an adapter for the bracket. +if you are running stock wheels, you need spacers (15mm)

Good Luck to you on this project, as only few venture down this pathway...

So pretty much everything needs to be modified?

Why is it that so few try to do this?
