i think a 18R-GEU (fuel injected 18RG) would be legal however.
you will need a R bellhousing for a W55 providing it has a W55 box.
then u willneed to sort out mounts and sump etc.

The 18R-G was around before 1976, and it wasn't the first 2 litre twincam engine, not by a LONG shot. It wasn't even Toyota's first 2 litre twincam, the 3M was around in the mid 60's!
As for legalities, the RA63 Celica/Carina was fitted with an 18R-GEU up until 1985 so if you get one of those you will be fine. It will have the correct sump too.
