Default Failry New to the 1UZ, Had a 2JZ

Alright I have been out of the Lexus and Toyota game for a while. I took a break to go build big dumb trucks, but I'm back. I sold my old 93 SC300 2JZ N/A. But I recently bought a 92 SC400. bought it for stupid cheap. needed timing belt water pump spark plugs air filter distributor and rotor, and also wires since the last idiot that worked on it smashed the wires under the covers. It still needs suspension work and I already ordered the evap delete kit. just need advice and or a parts list and or a cheap place to get everything I need for the manual conversion. thinking r154 but not opposed to other swaps if good reasoning.

no pikatureses? anyway, welcome (back) to Japanese muscle!

manual swap info is everywhere. I'd love to get a cheap 400 to mess with the chevy guys.

ITB FTW.

oOoO previous owner had a shop? thats good news. or is it yours? looks pretty good for the milage.

already did some work to the orig wood trim and center vent. i personally dont like the wood looks cheap and fake I dont see it being "classy" at all, sure its a luxury car but its a sports car too. I plan to colormatch my trim to the paint of the car(202 black onyx) kinda like they do on the 00' vw beetles.

already swapped out the corny fake wood trim and center vent. i personally dont like the fake wood looks cheap imo, i dont see how people/designers think putting wood anywhere in a vehicle is "classy" on top of that its FAKE WOOD, sure its a luxury car but its a friggin sports car too. I plan to colormatch my trim to the paint of the car(202 black onyx) kinda like they do on the 00' vw beetles. would be way baller than friggin FAKE wood.
actually the sc400 is one of the very few cars that use real wood, your talking about the clear coat on top that makes it feel cheap.
