So to use that block you had to get a different or make a specific head for that block.

That is not a standard T-series head based on the water outlet missing from that photo, but as you stated a racing engine.

Have you any information about using a 2TG head on that block which should bolt-on without an issue.

Thank you for that fast response.

Before the billet era was just the stock head modified to the block I was not there to know the exact details.

This one look taller than the others in the market. But the water outlet is optional, usually they don't run water true the block since the block is filled. Just an little water true the head. The fitting in the front is water some use the ice water from the water to air intercooler system

Not have !. The timing Chains design was kinda drama. You couldn't shave much of it

Thank you for your input.
interesting that all of the information that I just read stated that the 4Y engine would not hold up to high RPMs. So no use sinking time chasing that bit of effort.

The block might hold i read the crankshaft weak spot.
