USA Engine swap for camry 93 v6

Hello Fellow memebers,
I am new to this forum. I own a 93 camry wagon v6 and love it. My engine just reached 175,000 miles and still powerfull and smooth but some issues are starting to show up such as ABS ligth coming on and check engine ligth the same thing. The car has a small oil leak but is botherfull because oil is dripping onto the exhaust pipe and is burning it causing fumes of burned oil.
I will try to get as much mileage out of this engine but I am thinking about an engine swap at arround 200,000 miles and need your advice. Is this a wise move? I also need advice on where to buy a used engine. Are those japanese imported used engines reliable and do they need some modifications? Thanks a lot.
Rick.

Don't swap. Fix the leak. I guarantee you it's the oil filter adapter o-ring.

Look here

3vz-fe oil filter adapter

As for the Check Engine Light (also known as CEL), pull the code and find out what is causing it. Could be something as easy as an O2 sensor needing to be replaced.

You can do the same with the ABS light.

Definitely NOT a candidate for a swap.
