Sonyps307 - Thanks for your insight. I wonder if the 2JZ is a clean swap, as the engine size is larger.

No. The 1JZ was actually available in the MKIII. If you purchase a full front clip it can be a VERY straight forward swap... Neither will be simple or cheap though and if you've never done a swp before you're best off at least sticking with the same family of engine (M series).
