I am interested in getting a twin cam engine for my luv... somethign that i also found is that you can take a 2.2 or 2.5l chrysler engien block and put a 2.0 or 2.4l engine head on it only having to change the oil ports (they dont line up right) and the cam gear needs to be a custom jobby so the teeth line up, have the corect count and shape... now somehting that i was wondering is that the way they found that this can work is that a guy happened to toss a 2.2l head gasket ontop of a 2.4l head gasket noticed that the bolts and cy,inders lined up and the rest was histoory... i was jsut wondering if anyone knew of a similar enomily between the G series ports and any, and i mena ANY other heads... i plan on doing some searching and trying to find somethign out and hopefully find somethign that will work, for what i plan on doing, it would be exclusively unique (for now) and i woudnt have to look for an engien from japan that dosen t seem to exhist...

thanks
-Dustin

There is an Isuzu DOHC G-series 1600W/1800W/200W that was optional in RWD Japanese Geminis.
A few made it to AU & NZ.

Totally different from the 1.9/G200Z but if you wanna pay shipping you could probly source 1.
Try elky or Poida
