Doesn't look like it has been looked after too well. The main concern would be checking compression, but that's hard to do properly on an uninstalled engine like that.

roger .. i'll prolly work out some kinda deal for the working of it i suppose :/ coz the guy selling it is gona install it as well so no worries there .. n he's giving me this in xchange for my 1RZ plus 350$(US) xcluding the installation charges etc .. good deal ??

Spray some WD40 [or similar] into plug holes and turn engine over a few times..
Just in case cylinder bore have some surface rust on them??
If started and run hard? It could cause ring damage..
Replace timing belt, check starter motor and water pump..
Looks like its been steam cleaned and not spayed with some water dispersant which makes some parts look corroded..

roger .. another thing .. the current engine in my trooper is hooked up with a Surf 4x4 tranny .. will i b able to use that with this or should i stick to the auto that comes along with it ??

I just think these 1uz-fe swaps into these light weight troopers, 4 runners, Montero's, etc... are all just amazing.

I know what an 1uz-fe can do in a heavy sc400, and I can only imagine how spunky it would be in those little 4x4's.. Too cool and bad ass for sure.

Go man!!! Great swap.. I had a two door 86 Montero and I would have loved to drop a 1uz-fe in that. It would have been a little monster..

That's a bad ass idea, to be honest man, i'd stick with the tranny that comes with the engine, rather than risk it not working with the isuzu transmission
