07-10-08, 11:08 GMT+10#101 it is indeed.
its a similar story to the RB30
same rods and pistons, just different compression using different head gasket thickness and crown design.
the main difference is no oil squirters (which isnt a huge drama anyway) and that the bolt and port spacing is different between heads.
the 2jz-ge also runs a distrbutor based ignition system, so will simplify the ignition side of things a lil as i can run an MSD boost retard module and a very simple ignition ECU (still thinking along the lines of the jaycar unit) teamed up with a CDI unit to help spark with the LPG.
will be interesting to see how it all works out anyway lol

03-02-09, 22:20 GMT+10#118 cheers for the comments guys
bought a front sump for it and will hopfully be paying for the bellhousing in a fortnight, so the engine can be fitted and we can tack up the engine mounts
the car is being towed to my house as its been at a mates the whole time, will attempt the bay with another mate as hes done a few with good results
so progress, but slowly slowly
i pulled down the TA45 and measured it and it has a 62mm front wheel, so will support the power im after, but will be a lil laggy, im not stressed though, still loving it for $100 lol
