I agree that a 2jz-gte typically isn't a drop-in solution for a 2jzge-equipped Lexus...for example, there's no reason why an engine bay designed for a 2jz-ge should already have room for 2jz-gte's turbos. ...BUT (again, for example) the oil pans in that article didn't need to be "custom" for the sake of the 2jz-gte shortblock ... to make a complete 2jz-gte fit in the IS300 engine bay (again other than the turbo(s)) they only needed to use IS300 oil pans bolted to the 2jz-gte...and they do bolt directly on. Also, I'd be willing to bet that they could have used the oem motor mounts IF they didn't have to worry about turbo and/or transmission clearances. In other words, it wasn't any 2jz-ge<->2jz-gte shortblock differences that necessitated the modified engine mounts. These custom motor mounts they chose to use (for other reasons) are what necessitated the custom oil pan.
