The supra is automatic right now and I have looked into swapping, but most of the stuff I find is for 6speeds.

Also, what if I went with a 1JZ-GTE with the 5speed instead of the 2JZ for now. How hard would it be to put that into a MKIV?

Yes, it'll be a major difference...especially if you're planning to upgrade the 2jz-gte. The 5speed manual transmission can only take about half the max power/torque that the v160 can.

Please don't put a 1jz into an Mkiv. You might as well buy an n/a and stick with a 2jz-ge.
