I have a '97 engine and tranny and want to know if it's compatible with a 1996 Model of Lexus es300? Can't seem to find an answer anywhere and hope I can find help in this forum. Thanks.

Same motor. However I would try and source one for the specific year, because you know that misc components will fit. Aka, the alternator may be offset in one motor and not the other, also motor mounts, I'd imagine they are in different locations from car to car. Then there is the issue of ecu compatibility and wiring differences between the change-over year to account for different accessories in both cars.
