Engine Swap
Hi I am new to this forum I have a IS 300 (2002) 2JZ-GE automatic basically what I'm trying to do is switch to a manual transmission automatic is just boring but people keep telling me the it would be easier just to replace the whole engine I hear a lot of chatter on this forum about the 2JZGTE Supra so my question is what’s the best engine choice for my IS 300? Keep in mind I definitely going manual and this is my every day car some feedback will help thank you.

W55
This was the first of the aluminum-shelled W-series transmissions.
The W55 appears to be a base reference point for gear ratios that Toyota used to fine tune later models of the W-series.
Ratios:
First Gear: 3.566:1
Second Gear: 2.056:1
Third Gear: 1.384:1
Fourth Gear: 1.00:1
Fifth Gear: 0.85:1
Reverse: -4.091:1
Applications:
1982-1983 Toyota Carina
1981-1985 Toyota Celica
1983 Toyota Corona
1986 Toyota Soarer
1986 Toyota Crown
1983 Toyota Chaser
1984-1988 Toyota Pickup 2WD with 22RE(EFI) engine
2002-2005 Lexus IS300 (US Market only)
