So guys, the engine came on Tuesday and I am getting it put in on Saturday.
This is the ES300 completely stock, sorry for the photo quality.
The car isn't in the best shape it could be in but over then next week and a half, an new (used) engine, rims, new pillar posts, total interior and exterior clean in fine detail and a possible lowering will bring it back from the grave !
Here are some before pictures of the car
Some "after" pictures will be posted quite soon

That engine looks brand spanking new.

I just thought of something.

Would you mind taking more pictures of the engine from all four sides? It would be very helpful for tutorials and just to see what it actually looks like. My biggest request would probably be to show the rear coolant drain plug. Thank you and good luck with the repair.

p.s.: It seems like you bought a pre-1999 1MZ-FE. Reason being is that you have spark plug wires running to the back three cylinders, which were replaced with ignition coils in '99. In addition, Lexus introduced VVT-i for that model year and they replaced the single butterfly valve with a dual one.

It's only got about 60,000 miles on it which is quite good.
I am planning on taking more photo's if I can get the chance to. And i'll be taking photo's of everything pretty much..
I'll use a better camera though, maybe my d-slr because it has way better quality.
I can't promise anything but ill try my best because right now. it's at my mates house because he's a mechanic.

that motor's condition is beautiful at 60k miles.
either somebody really cleaned it up or it was really well kept.

i guess it's australian, no snow no rust

The engine looks perfrect from the outside. Lets hope it's like that on the inside too.
