Description
Engine overview
This 1MZ-FE is the 2WD listing: RX300 FWD, ES300, Highlander FWD, Avalon, and Sienna all appear in the application window. Transmission stays with the car. Sienna accessory drives and van exhaust routing are the usual surprises. VVT-i 1MZ is not the earlier non-VVT-i 1MZ from the first-generation ES300/Camry V6 without a timing-cover check.
Typical applications
Listed application window: 1999–2003 Lexus RX300; 1997–2003 Lexus ES300; 2001–2003 Toyota Highlander; 1997–2004 Toyota Avalon; 1998–2003 Toyota Sienna. Year/make/model get you onto the right aisle. VIN, oil pan, and engine code decide whether the assembly actually ships.
Engine configuration
3.0L DOHC V6, Naturally aspirated, DOHC VVT-i, Aluminum block, Aluminum head. Listed dress: complete engine. No transmission is included unless named on this page. Published family output: 210–220 hp class in US RX300/Highlander tunes. That is not a dynamometer result for this serial.
What buyers should verify
Stamped engine code, oil pan shape, engine mounts, exhaust manifolds or turbo/blower hardware, and whether the harness and ECU in the vehicle match this generation. Send this SKU with the VIN on an engine enquiry before freight is scheduled.
Included assembly information
The source listing named: Engine Head & Block; Timing Components; Intake Manifold & Throttle Body; Fuel Rail & Injectors; Exhaust Manifold; Distributor / Coil Packs; Alternator; Power Steering Pump; Pulleys; Oil Pan. Treat that as a starting inventory, then compare the photographs. Accessories not shown are not implied.
Installation considerations
JDM engines often differ in harness connectors, emissions equipment, and mount geometry from the US-market equivalent. Budget for sensors, manifolds, and an ECU strategy that the vehicle actually has. Compression or leak-down data is supplied only if it is written on the order—do not assume a test sheet exists because the engine is imported.
Shipping considerations
The engine ships on a pallet as freight after the delivery ZIP, residential versus shop, and liftgate needs are confirmed. Cost and transit depend on destination. Tracking is issued when the carrier has the pallet.
Warranty information
Used JDM coverage is stated per engine at the time of sale. No blanket term, labor reimbursement, or return window is implied by this listing. Read the note on the order before freight is scheduled.
