1.5jz prospects, 2jz GE questions

Hello, I am in the process of building a 2jz powerplant for a project of mine. I have a 2jz GE out of a lexus SC300 that I got for free. The head gasket is blown and it has bent valves. I will most definately need to replace the head, so I was wondering if a 1jzGTE head will bolt up to a GE block? I know that a 2jzGTE head will not bolt to a GE bottom end, is this the same case with the 1jz head? Also, my pistons are a bit scored but not in horrible condition. I am also aware that the 2jzGE pistons don't respond to boost very well. What modifications are required to put GTE pistons in a GE block?

I would like to salvage as most of this 2jzGE as possible. I may just end up buying a 1jzGTE complete long block, but If I can use a 3.0 bottom end then I will.

Thanks for help in advance, sorry if I come off as a newb :x:

Also, no modifications are required to fit 2jz-gte pistons into a 2jz-ge bock. Note however, that the 2jz-gte pistons will not be fully functional without the oil squirters that are present in the 2jz-gte block.

From what I've researched so far, you need to drill out parts of the block for the studs to fit, is that accurate? If this is true, is the same modification required to fit a 1jz head on the GE bottom end?

What part of the GTE pistons won't function in a GE block without squirters? Would I have to worry about overheating the pistons without squirters, or are stock GTE pistons forged?
