auto to manual tranny swap

You're fine with the radiator. It's when you're adding an auto to a 5 speed equipped chassis that you need to add cooling for the auto. Just plug the ports on the lower end tank of the radiator.

Alright thanks, I might just end up buying a cheap rad to replace the stock one anyways just to prevent any leak issues.

I did this swap in an 86.5 (went from auto to 5spd and 7mge to 7mgte in my first car) It took about a weekend but i used to work for toyota so that def. helped. I would look for a supra that has been hit in the side or the rear to get the parts.
