85 camry-2jz compatible

I have an 85 camry, 5 speed, that I want to completely customize inside and out. Would a 2jzgte be a compatible engine for it?

No, it really wouldn't work well. A front engine, front wheel drive compact sedan with a very short engine bay isn't going to fit the 2JZ without largely rebuilding the entire car and converting it to RWD. I'd look at something like either the 3S-GTE or one of Toyota's small footprint V6 engines.
