M140/240 comes in manual here. Probably not as good as the OEM in terms of feel but it's OK and obviously designed for the torque. Probably similar in length on those platforms too. Would need a little research.

Yea, if you are disgusted with the looks of the Supra and enamored that much with the 86 then the swap makes sense. Selling your car and putting that money plus the $20-25k in swap cash towards a different used car could get something better or worse, depending on your tastes. Subjectivity does play a hand in these decisions.
On the manual transmission, like I said earlier, that is one of the best advantages here. The engine and transmission could be bought as one assembly. With the 2JZ, the CD009 and adapter kit is another large expense. With the Pure Auto K24 swap, there is a need to source a S2000 tranny and an adapter kit. Usually an engine and transmission joined together are cheaper and less headache.
