Sure man, it's pretty easy.   You start by unbolting the transmission, but make sure you pull the halfshafts outta the exhaust bearings, they tend to get in the way.   This is crucial though, remove the PCV valve and check for any signs of coolant in the distributor's intake snorkel.   If you fail to do this, it will cause problems later.   Then start unhooking the wiring harness, make sure you get the turn signal ECU underneath the HVAC blower housing, it's right next to the internal manifold for the heated gas pedal.   Once that is out, drain the oil, atf, gear oil, coolant, and remove the engine.   Also, keep in mind that the THN system may malfunction if you don't refill with fluid rated for Oscha 5 standards.  Once you get the engine out, just bolt in a Soarer motor, but make sure it's the engine type JZT3 with a ported resonance valve.   The other ones may or may not work, but you will probably have wiring problems.   The great news is the transmission bolts right up to this engine with no mods, but installing the Stage 2 power steering muffler may help avoid seatbelt gauge fluctuations in operating temperatures of 356 Kelvin.   Button it all up and you'll be good for ~380hp, give or take, depending on the condition of the continuum tranfunctioner.   Good luck and post videos on youtube!
