I am also in the states and also planning on doing this swap. From what I have found 92-97 motors are non-vvt and 98+ are vvt. Don't know for sure but I think most have a seperate ECU for the tranny, and I haven't found any places in the US that make bell housings to hook it up to a manual tranny. For the vvt motor, Motec is probably the best aftermarket ECU for it but I don't know how much it costs.

Not sure about vvt. Maybe some of the earlier ones had VVT... VVTi, the ECU controlled one, yes, was found all around in 98+ lexi (I think), though IIRC one model had it in '97. Also, there were 1UZs prior to 92. I think GaryM is looking for one from a 90-93 LS400. He's planning on sticking w/ the auto, though, and meeting California smog laws.

Yeah, I think bellhousings have to be imported from Aus, or you can make an adaptor plate. From what I've heard, Motec's high end ecu is the only aftermarket ecu that has a chance of controlling vvti...

good luck. seems this is a very popular swap.
