yea i want boost but u dont come across full 5 speed swaps that often...theres always 1j's or 2j's on the market...
the other thing is i gave the guy my word that i wanted it so hes holding it for me...so if i take too long he will sell it to someone else...

I understand that it is a sweet deal and all but man these cars are cows. If it was me I would just swap the automatic 1jz in there and then save up later on for the 5 speed swap. Its not like the automatics are slow either....

there is a whole 95 sc that was in a roll over accident 5-speed for only 1800 on autotrader its got a full interior good engine and even the tail lights and rear end is good so i mean you will be able to get the swap parts needed for a future 5-speed conversion they will always be out there and remember your gonna go manual but ur car will still be the same slow just boost it first see what power you want then work on your drive train

^^^^ Well you guys i have been thinking all day today and i decided that i think ima jus go for the 1j auto...and instead of me buying the complete 5 speed swap im buy everything except the W58...so that way later on down the line when im tired of the auto i can jus buy a tranny(r154) and im set feel me???
