You can order the cap, wires, seals, and a lot of other parts for the 20v from aaron at lithia toyota (vendor on this board). He also makes a custom Bpipe for the 20v header.

If you ended up with a reasonably clean motor, there shouldn't be a lot to do in the way of replacing parts.

If you want to post pics, I can probably tell you what can and can't be reused from the 16v motor. The 16v crank pulley can, for example, be used on the 20v. You can use the 16v alternator, and if you want A/c, you're best off using the 16v a/c compressor. A dented airbox is ugly, but not a big deal. Lots of guys with blacktops ditch the box anyway.

The main judge of a good motor is the color of what's inside the motor. If it's silver or golden, it's good. If it's black with tar, it's less than desirable.
