1jz differences

Getting ready to pick up a 1jz motorset. Already tried searching. I want to see side by side comparison of the 1jz motors that are available in various cars. I'm trying to source a 1jz from a car that requires the least amount or the easier prep work necessary to drop it into my 92 sc300 5spd.

Thanks in advance.

PS: focusing on oil pan, ECU, distinctive characteristics.

no matter what dropping the soarer engine set will be the easiest from a wiring standpoint, otherwise they will all fit in the engine bay with equal ease.

do what i did call Jhot and ask for the next 92' 1jz 5speed.
and they will do the rest.
and the easiest is the motor from the same year as your car. i.e. 92

I'm pretty sure the motor mounts are different on a different vehicle other than the Soarer.

I can care less about the wiring because isn't all the wiring the same? I just wonder about the oil pan and alternator I've read about? I'm just looking for how much flexibility I have at choosing a motorset.
