Correct

Yes, but you'll also need to swap the ecu, the primary wiring harness, the ignitor, the resistor pack, and the fuel pump ecu in order to make it all functional.

Ok, but how many hours? If it's an engine from Japan, they're typically low mileage, but they have many, many times the number of hours on the engine due to the traffic conditions in most of Japan.

Depends how well maintained the car was, and how hard it was driven. Best case, you'll need no other swaps.

*edit*
oh yea, how hard would it be to convert a auto into a manual? I've noticed that about 70% of the supras out there for sale are auto's. The motors I were looking into come with the manual tranny, but what other work is involved in a conversion? Thanks!
