Yes mate, most of the Aussie conversions have manual gearboxes, they use the Toyota R150 'box and a custom bellhousing or a R150 to Lexus bellhousing adapter plate..
The bellhousings can be bought from Australia http://www.rodshop.com.au/

Don't forget a heavy duty clutch kit too, the V8 will chew up and spit a standard clutch out!

This one has sold I think, but it's what the adapter plate looks like for the R15* 'boxes.
