And the 3VZ-E uses the same block as the 3VZ-FE, right? So the motor mounts will all line up, that's all I'm concerned about. The difference between the heads is irrelevant for this discussion.
I haven't found any spec sheets or anything with measurements of the engine. That's why I asked for help from the forum, my questions tend to get answered very well here. That's one reason I love it here so much, and the fact that most people who populate this forum are pretty chill.

I would agree with all the board members on this one but if you really want to be unique and love diesel engines then don't be discouraged by the board members just be prepared for all the expenses of custom work every board member is most likely trying to help you out when they respond to you negatively there just putting time, effort, and mostly money into mind we all wish you luck on this and would love to see pictures if you decide to go this route.
