Depends on exact engine.Japan has different emission standards vs US and often different exhaust manifolds and EGR designs.

Any used Japanese junk yard engine will require a days R&R to get it ready for a swap into US vehicle.

Important to replace front and rear main seals, valve cover seals, and hoses, clean intake and egr etc while it is easy to get to things.
