Question Replacing a 1MZ-FE with 3VZ-FE

I have a 94 Camry with a dead 1mz, and I have a 3vz from a lexus. From what I see so far the harness is a different shape. One of the coolant hoses is on the opposite side of the engine. and probably lots of other things. How hard is it to swap them?

So does anyone want to buy a 3VZ-FE from a Lexus? It has 89K on it.

$400 if you pick it up.

Is it possible to swap all of the electrical parts from the engine and just the computer and not the harness?
