Thanks for the kind thoughts guys.
The big issue for me with an ICV is ADR79-00 which we must meet here in NSW, so it just had to be a very late model engine, the one that I have has 6,000 on it, from a 2002 Corolla that had a fire in the hatch that stuffed the interior and warped the rear body work.

Of the CS hex bolts there are only two at the top of the block facing out into the bell housing, these will have star washers and a generous helping of Loctite to hold them still while they are torqued up, the rest either are torqued right up before the gearbox goes on or are accessible once it is all one piece.
The importer that I got the engine from GMS at Milperra in Sydney ( speak to Simon ) had a number of the 1ZZFE and only two incomplete 2ZZGE, with a price differential of more than $4K I wasn't going there, her indoors wouldn't understand.
The 2ZZGE could well come later if I need more than ~ 110Kw in 550 Kg, I think that I need to become a very proficient driver and get the suspension working properly before I need the extra 40Kw.
Another thing to consider if you choose to be daring is make sure you get the fuel pump, it is regulated and the injector rail has no return line, this helps to keep the fuel temps down and slows the evaporation of the fuel from the tank.

As a matter of interest there is a very well set up clubbie getting around that weighs in around the 500Kg mark running Avon ACB10 road legal racing tyres with an 86Kw twink that is 6 seconds a lap faster around Wakefield than an EvoVI.
