If your buying a used motor from an importer, you probably don't need to break it in, because they supposedly already have 30-40k miles on them.
However, who knows how long they've been sitting with a bunch of sludge and nasty ol' oil & sediment and whatever the hell else found its way in during transport, so I'd take it easy on it for a couple hundred miles and change the oil again (or twice) to help flush any shit out of it. If it is a new/rebuilt motor, then there is definitely a break-in schedule. There are many different schools of thought on this, but I really like Endyne's suggestions for break-in of new motors.... --> http://theoldone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13060

If you change the clutch during the swap, follow the manufacturers directions on properly seating the clutch. It should only be about 500 miles to break a new clutch in. After the break in let it rip.
 It might also be wise to change the oil sooner than you usually do due to the engine sitting around for so long.
