Update for this weekend:
The summary of this weekend is: Brake cleaner. I smell like it. My garage smells of it. The motor is happy to have a bath in it. This stuff and a toothbrush is all I need
I live in the boonies and don't have internet, so I pack up the Mac and head to Starbucks (oh how stereotypical of you, you Seattle hipster
) to mooch a bit of Wifi to download a couple FSM's for a Camry, as I am prepping to tear into the motor now. I painted the front bank's valve cover last night a nice Metallic Black, but I REALLY don't like it. My valve covers were ugly to begin with, so I'm going to strip it and put a wrinkle black finish on it, so it covers up some of the ugliness. I also picked up about 10ft of vacuum line to re-route/tuck some of the clutter on the motor.
My clutch should be here in a couple of days, which leaves wiring, and gaskets left before the swap can commence. The time is ticking down!

Thank god it won't be my first time doing it. I think the mr2 holds somewhere around 3 gallons of coolant....
Repainted the valve covers and started the top end teardown this evening. Expect pictures to surface at some point tomorrow.

Drawing closer now...
My clutch showed up at my house today. Stage 2 Kevlar kit from South Bend Clutch. MR2 Turbo pressure plate and disk with a custom 20 spline to mate with my S54.
I also yanked the valve covers and painted them with VHT Wrinkle paint. I REALLY like how it came out. Now, my question for you guys is should I paint the intake manifold to match the valve covers? Or just leave it how it is?
Sending out the harnesses tomorrow afternoon and hope to get back the completed harness in a week or so. Once I get it back the swap will be starting! Excite!

I say that you should paint the intake manifold a nice, soft silver. Nothing shiny and flashy, since your valve covers aren't like that. Which I'll add, came out AWESOME 
I just think that a soft silver manifold would provide a necessary color contrast in the bay. I think that a black manifold would be too much.
Edit: I saw Daniel's post, and a flat red would look pretty good too. I just don't like the idea of the mostly black.
Edit #2: Either one of those colors would look great, but experiment with doing a similar effect as the valve covers. That'd be pretty damn neato
Okay, all done

I vote paint it. Are you leaving the engine bay red or are you painting it black when the motor is out? Nothing against painting your engine bay black, but I'd personally leave mine the color of the car. As long as you're leaving the engine bay red, I'd paint the intake manifold. Then you won't have too much black and it won't be overwhelming.

No the bay isn't being painted... why would I do that?
I think I'm going to leave the intake silver... Keep in mind there will be a cover on top of it all...

Looks nice ! keep it like it is if your cover is silver, damn your bay is gunna be super super tight with that in there lol.
It'll be the motor that should have gone in the mr2 in the beginning.
Space-wise there will be more room gained left to right in the bay, and front to back should be the same as the 5s.

Seems like half the motor swaps I see have engine bays painted black, despite the actual color of the car. I didn't know if you would be following that trend. And since you are going to have a silver cover over the motor, I say leave the intake manifold silver.
So you'll have slightly more room in the engine bay; what about weight? How will that affect the handling of the car? I know the 5S weighs the same as a small moon, and I assume that the 1MZ isn't any lighter.

That's no moon, that's a space station. Lol, but yeah, I'm curious as to how the 1MZ weighs up next the other popular swaps as well.

1mzfe is 346lbs
5sfe is 385lbs
3sgte is 463lbs
the s54 transmission weighs less than the e153 as well, so it'll be pretty light.

Gaw, that's insane how much incredibly lighter it is than the 3SGTE.

So you're actually going to lose some weight? Good deal

Send me 3k for the TRD unit.
Better yet, find one for sale that doesn't need a rebuild.
Yanked the timing belt tonight. Belt looks good. Hydraulic tensioner is good. Pulleys spin well. Water pump spins well with resistance from the fins. No sound of bearing failure.
Consensus: replace all but the hydraulic tensioner... Because I don't want to have to do this twice... Just because it sounds and looks good now doesn't mean it will in 15k miles.
I mailed out the harnesses to mr220v today. Figure i'll see it back in a couple weeks.

Awesome. Leave it NA and build a nice ITB setup...rev it to the moon (with appropriate cams, high comp pistons, and rods of course). 8,000 RPM or nothign 
. You know how awesome that would sound.

Today was a bit productive.
I reinstalled the upper intake manifold and started rerouting vacuum lines to clean up the egr crap. After that was done I removed the upper and lower intake manifolds to expose the intake valves and the coolant line that runs underneath the lower intake manifold. Replaced that coolant line and cleaned out the intake path in the lower manifold, which was a bit dirty.
To my surprise the intake valves look literally brand new! I haven't looked in on the exhaust valves yet, but I assume they'll look good as well.
Pictures tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

Pictures!
Lower intake manifold with the fuel rails bolted back on. The runners were caked, and this is how it looks after a short bath in brake cleaner and a wire brush.
This is a horrible shot, but it gives a clear shot of the valve, which looks brand new. All of them look like this. I was pretty happy to see that.
And with everything cleaned up a bit.
Water pump and timing belt kit will be here tomorrow. Gaskets on Thursday. Nom nom nom.
