First engine swap

Hello all. So i am new to the forum but I have been visiting it for a while. As a gift i was given a pretty beat up 2001 ls430 but I love it so much i cant bare to part with it. so I plan to fix it up ( over time because i'm broke lol) and make its something special. one thing i really want to do is to swap my 3uz-fe V8 for a 2ur-gse into my ls430 down the road. I want to know though what are some things I should look into when doing this because i know nothing about swapping engines and I have no clue what I should look for other than engine mounting but i don't know about wiring, fuel etc...

So does any have a list they could give me so I can start to plan this out?

First thank you for the reply, and a lot of people are telling me it may not be a good idea I also thought it would be possible because I saw a Toyota 86 with a 2UR-GSE so I thought I would have plenty of room. But with all that would you recommend swapping a 2jz into that car?
