Ok can someone help me find a trusted seller with a complete swap so I can look further into it?

Any off eBay with good feedback should be good. You can always go through and see any bad feedback that they have.

Most of those places dont even come close to honoring the warranty.
My backup engine came and I wanted to test the new plug wires. I put them in a completely fine working car, and one of the plug wires was dead. I called them and told them you're blatantly lying saying the engine was started and proven to be running fine.
They were like did you install it by an ASE tech. I tried to explain it didnt matter, all I did was swap plug wires onto a running engine and your **** engine doesnt work how could it have ever ran fine with bad plug wires. Later I found out the ECU is bad as well.
The first engine I got though is still kicking after a lot of abuse.

got nothing against the 3mz-fe just don't like heavy v6s especially interference motors. besides that im a Toyota tech. I get these motors all the time. I know what theyr capable of and I know their weaknesses. and its cheaper for me to own it here since I have access to parts but I still have access to beams parts, and im more interested in the beams 4cylidner more efficient engine. the 3mz loves building carbon... and im not about that world...

the Beams is an interference motor.

Also the 1MZ weighs less than the USDM 4 cylinders. 
Gets good gas mileage too since it gets 28 in a car that weighs 700 pounds more.
