Use the SC harness , ecu , trans and the rest of the stuff the trans is not the same .You have to change the motor motors because the IS300 uses some weird one. Swap the oil pan because all lexus and toyota rear wheel drive 4doors are front sump and all the rear wheel drive 2doors toyota and lexus are rear sump so you need to swap the complete oil pan setup.
Just use the long block only , and transfer the rest of the stuff .Tthe stuff may look the same but it's not !!
