What??????

Use proper English man. JK.... What motor are you replacing it with, or are you using another 1UZFE? Always do the required maintenance while the motor is out. Its easier and better for you in the long run.

Good luck on your swap, post more pictures....

You might as well get the PITA stuff out of the way now, so you don't have to tackle them at a later point - belts, water pump, starter, carbon cleaning the intake manifold and egr system, replacing gaskets, replace the caps, rotors, distributor o-rings and ignition coils(plus your requisite plugs, wires). Replacing your engine and tranny mounts wouldn't be a bad idea either. You'll thank yourself later on with a low maintenance trouble-free engine.
