Default GS vs. SC (tech support/mods)?

we are talking 2nd gen GS of course...

between the GS and SC, which do you think would have more "tech support" in this community?

also as far as doing a 6spd 2jz-gte conversion, which do you think would be cooler to do it on? i think the SC would probably be more of a direct fit/easier...

out of the GS series, the 300,400, 430, would they all pretty much be the same if i were to do the 2jz-gte swap in them? i mean would having a 300 be any "easier" to swap into the GTE than say the 400 or 430?

out of all the GS series, which do you think is the most sought after GS? the 300, 400 or 430?

thanks for any help and opinions

Between 2GS and SC430, most tech support will be for 2GS. For 2GS vs 1SC(SC300/400) then the 1gen SC will have more support since a big portion of that car is nearly the same as a Supra.

6spd, for 2GS vs 2SC then it will be about the same. Both will have to be complete custom jobs since the 2GS and 2SC never came in manual so there's no hole in the firewall for the master cylinder and clutch. For 1SC then it will be mostly bolt in since the 1SC came in a manual option.

For 2GS yes all would be same in terms of swapping. Most people buy a GS300 if they plan to do a swap becaues it is usually quite a bit cheaper. No point to seek a car with a more expensive motor when you're going to tear the motor out first thing when you get it.

Out of all the 2GS the most sought after would be either the GS430 or the GS300 SportDesign series.
