Are RHD and LHD engines swappable?

I have no problems with my 5SFE engine but I think an engine going into 250,000km is entering its sunset phase! So, I am looking into getting an engine that has seen less oil... Are the engines in RHD and LHD vehicles exactly the same or are they mirror images of each other?
Best regards,
Patrick.

#1: Yes, they are the same. The base engine is identicle.

#2: 250k km isn't really all that much. If you have taken care of it, you can get another 100k km from it without much issue.
