    what is needed to do a th350 transmission swap?

    As did I (11.90) on an A340E and a 3000 stall TC.

    Can i reuse a cometic 2mm gasket

    Not "may"...you will have to strip off the old Viton coating. The copper spray replaces it to effect a seal. The "yes" IJ posted is a thread link ;)

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    The center cover is there to keep water/oil/crap out of the spark plug wells...the stainless ones will work, but not as well as OEM. New cam cover gaskets should stop the leak...make sure you apply RTV at the location shown in the top pic here...

    Supra owners are "trained" by the car to be paranoid ;)

    Oil Pumps

    If the bung is near the top lip, no way the oil level will get near it. I get about 50-60 psi at 4000 RPM warm.

    Oil Pumps

    An extra quart is all you'll need...that goes for a stock NA too ;) You do it to make sure the pump pick-up is never uncovered during lateral or deceleration.

    Oil Pumps

    That's the way I read the 1st post ;) The pumps are different....that's really all you need to know. I would bite the bullet and get the GTE pump from the dealer...the online sources are infamous for sending a GE pump. It's happened more than once ;) If you shim the relief valve...

    Good to hear and sorry about coming off harsh. You happened to hit a pet peeve...I've had guys try to tell me this brand of oil will increase your HP. And guess what? They used a dyno to "prove" it. ;) A dyno is a tuning tool...using it to "prove" this or that can be very misleading...a...

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    For a basically stock motor the Bosch 110 BOV is a tried and true choice...it works well. Dump the K&N and get an AEM Dryflow...no more oil to foul your AFM and it filters far better than the K&N ;) I'm going to take exception to this...that article was about increasing HP due to spark...

    Oil Pumps

    The GTE pump is geared for higher flow...for the reasons the OP stated. Plus it has to feed the turbo. I would use a GTE pump for this motor...it should fit. I would shim the pump relief valve ~5mm for the extra pressure/output. The oil cooler circuit is set-up to provide full flow to the...

    I'll call that mod list "moderate".

    oil catch can condensing water?

    You're just getting the engine broke in...a bit of blow-by is normal. That explains the water you saw in the catch can. Same for the oil consumption...it should fall significantly in the next 1000 miles or so.

    On a motor with moderate mods, the iridiums will be fine. BTW - MSD wires don't play well with the shorter Autolite 3923 plugs...I know this for a fact ;)

    1jz oil filter

    I would avoid Toyota filters...back in the day when the Denso filters were commonly available, they were pretty good. Today, the Toyota Denso filters available in the US are made in Thailand...they are cheap, on par with a Fram filter. Here's the link to the oil filter thread in the Lube...

    Tell you what...you obviously have your opinion. Even if I showed you a torched piston, I doubt it would change. Run the iridiums (you are going to anyway).

    You realize the second you said "SupraForums", the "facts" lost all credibility ;) Just because someone does this or does that does not make it right. 90% of the posters on SF can't find their ass with both hands. IJ's experience is about as solid as it gets...that is unless you're...
