The Rex has an Estima having an engine change at work. Sure it is a TurboDiesel but, whatever. The fact is that it is almost flat, Its configuration lays it almost 90deg onto its side.
And sitting underneath the vehicle it needs to.

I seriously doubt it will fit. A 3S-GTE is a bulky engine for a 4-cylinder, and Toyota did some pretty tricky things to fit the engine in those vans. For example, all of the accessories are in the nose of the vehicle well forward of the engine, and are driven be a small driveshaft from the front of the crank. Methinks it would be a major headache trying to make such a system work with another engine.

A 3T makes the 3S look small
But yeah, I've seen the engine bays on those when sussing out gearbox options for a friend. I think you'd have major oiling issues happening.
Nothing is impossible thou, so go for it if you want to
