I think he might be talking bout a 2uz block with a 1uz head and custom rods! Alot of Peepz have done that conversion!
Yeah, did some research on it. The experts seem to think it's a bad idea. 2UZ weights 100 lbs more, only has 2 bolt mains (1UZ/3UZ has 6 bolt mains). The block is only good to 800 hp, even though it's cast iron.

He seems to think it's a good idea. Personally, I installed a 1UZ because it weights less than a 2JZGE and a bunch less than a 2JZGTE.

For daily N/A duties, dont need to go ballistic with it....again, just spitballing on the motor

Tires on the car now are 245/40/19 front, 265/35/19 rear, going to a 255/40
