Ok, Im getting my used motor this week sometime. Any advice on a shopping list? Im already getting a

Thermostat from Toyota
Throttle Body Gasket

I want to get coolant hoses and vacuum hoses. Should I get them from Toyota? Can someone provide me with an organized way to order then if I want to change them all out?

Where can I buy an Exhaust Manifold? Should I get a Y-Pipe as well? Seems like theres nothing wrong with these two but still Ive read somewhere that Exhaust Manifolds need to be replaced around 300K.

what is your email address? i will send you close up shots of my refurbish engine bay. i replaced all the coolant and vaccum hoses in there.
i want to show you what i did or used for some of those preformed hoses that can not be replaced with bulk hose.
i used volvo preformed hoses from highway trucks. i have part # for you or anyone else. a lot cheaper than the toyota hoses and are a direct fit.
on the manifold an y-pipe; wait until the engine arrives and have a close and detail lokk at things before you go spending money for no reason
