Default gauging interest on 1uz swap from 93 ls400

I wrecked my 93 ls400 about 2 weeks ago. engine is still good. i cranked it up and drove it onto my friends trailer to be towed home, and then backed it off and drove into my driveway. only thing wrong on the engine is the fan blade/clutch. it is a non traction control, front sump 1uz-fe. back in november i put the engine back in it. when it was pulled, i pulled the heads, did a valve job to both, new valve stem seals, new hg's, new head bolts, all front seals, rear seal, timing belt. water pump was recently done so left it alone, rebuilt the starter, new valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals, new plugs, new engine temp sensor, all new intake gaskets, cleaned the egr system out, welded up the cracks in the egr pipe, new exhaust manifold gaskets, replaced all the small coolant hoses around the intake manifold, all 4 o2 sensors were replaced within the last 2 months, new motor mounts, new trans mount, rebuilt the starter, new trans front seal and pan gasket, pulled the lower pan to clean it out, there was no sludge at all in it, cats are good. a/c compressor is perfect. a/c was ice cold, alt is the an actual ls 120amp alt(had to install this myself as a previous owner installed a 100 amp sc alt), power steering pump doesnt leak either. engine has 180k miles on it and runs perfect. it is bone stock. nothing was modded except cutting the front of the air box to allow more air in so id get a lil better gas mileage. still ran the stock paper air filter. hadnt bought a k&n yet. i also have all of the plastic covers that go on the engine. the only one not installed is the one over the throttle cables, but it is in my garage, just never put it back on.

since the engine is still in the car, i can crank it for anyone interested to hear it run before i pull it. all needed plugs can be cut from the car etc.. so this is truely a full swap! i need to find another car so need the money, otherwise it would go in one of my supras. if interested lmk. with all the work i did to it already, price will likely be around $1k for the entire engine/trans/ecu/harness/etc... setup. everything needed for it to run.
