Anytime you swap a engine in, make sure you open it up replace all the seals and redo the head.

Or you more than likly will be doing it after the engine is in your car when its much more difficult

different throttle bodies, one has egr and other has them blocked off, oil pressure sending unit is different, jdm has less sensors on the thermostat sensor housing. there are few other things but cant think of them right now. i got a jdm and just put it in there, now im replacing the headgasket with the motor in the car. go ahead, replace the headgasket and peak under the oil pan to make sure its all good.
