No. They are poo.
HOWEVER-one thing I will mention Allan, the 5ME were the larger version of the 4ME, which was of course was the emission version of the 4M. Now the original 4M motors actually produced more power than the 4ME due to not being choked up with smog system crap, but the other advantage they have is that they have a much better head retention setup than the -E series engines. The -E engines have long head bolts that go down through the rocker gear. These are STUPIDLY long and are a large part of the reason the head gaskets pop so often. The straight 4M has short bolts that hold the head on to the block, and then the rocker assembly is held onto the head. Not as good from an assembly plant efficiency point of view (takes longer to put together and has more parts than the -E engines), but much better at holding the head on. The square port old style 4 M head also flows a bit better I think.
So, as you have found, yep, the 5m can go out to 3.0 with the 7M bits, but even better, the original square-port 4m can go out to the same displacement as well-with almost the identical crank case mods, (I know of a bloke who has done it and was rapt with the result), AND you can get hurricane brand extractors for the square port. Would make a sweet motor for a daily driven supra, crown or MK2 corona.
