3rd Generation Replacing engine. What to do?

Hopefully, in the next month or 2, I'll be swapping in a low mileage JDM 3VZ. What should I replace on the new motor while it's out?

-Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor
-All fluids
-Valve seals?
-???

well if you're gonna do valve seals then changing head gaskets along with new head bolt is a good idea, but a little pricey. You should also do water pump and timing belt also and throw an E153 tranny

I second the head gaskets, my head gaskets went at 180k km.

I, too would recommend the headgaskets... I'm on borrowed time for the remainder of the life of my camry due to the cost of getting them replaced.
