Default Will the 300 auto bolt up to 2JZ-GTE

Hey guys I tired searching and found tons of info but had a few question still.
Basically will a 1992 SC300 Auto trans bolt up to a 2JZ-GTE? I am not asking how long it will last, just will it bolt up and work. Also will the Supra TT AUTO ECU be able to control this trans? Would I be better off just getting a auto trans from the Supra TT? If so will I still need a custom driveshaft?
i plan on doing the swap into my 92 SC300 auto and just trying to get the most information possible. From what I have heard and read the engine drops in easily. The only difficult part is the wiring which is easy if you know what you are doing or buy the manual from the guy in Hawaii. Also I have noticed that the people who have actually done the swap say it wasn't that bad. Its the ones who haven't who say you are crazy for doing it and its not worth it and its too hard. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Anyone know any good places to buy a USDM 2jz-gte front clip w/ auto (yes I don't want to go thru the trouble of doing the 6-speed, can you say AUTO HOLESHOT) or even engine, auto trans, ecu, wiring harness? Thanks and any help is appreciated!

Id assume itd bolt up without a problem since the sc300 is a 2jz block same bolt pattern.

I was wondering the same thing about a month ago. From what I understand it will bolt up. Not exactly sure about the ECU though. You can always build your tranny up for around 3k and should be able to take somegood power from the engine.

It will bolt up, sure. But...

1. Why would you want a weaker transmission (that being the factory Lexus tranny) than a stock TT?

2. And anyways, it will not work with the TT ecu. TT trannies are electronically controlled.

Oh well I will just have to wait for my Built TT trans to come in. I was getting anxious and din't want to wait three more weeks for my trans becuase it will start snowing by then and I wont be able to get it out until spring. Oh well. Iwas just going to drive around on that trnas for maybe 300 miles.

It will bolt up but your ecu will go into limp mode because it will be looking for signal from the trans on when to shift.
