Do it.

If you're getting it done at your mechanic, then he should know enough about what he's doing to successfully swap it.

Different family of engines - there would be significant amount of fabrication involved - lots of rewiring as well. Swaps can get pretty complicated - have you considered forced induction (supercharger, turbocharger)? There should be decent support for the 3ZZ engine overseas - I believe it was Blitz that made a bolt on supercharger for it for a Vitz hatchback.
