1jz/2jz Conversion

Visual-inspection is where it falls into the grey area. They have A LOT of discretion here as it's up to the operator running the smog-check. Searching for "smog check" here, CA smog difficulties have run a wide gamut. Good to have connections with a "friendly" smog-shop.

What he said. The pan really is the only real obstacle. It would need to be rear sump and canted.
Looking at the pan setup, I think the M54 inline six would drop straight in without even touching pan and it is canted from factory just like the 944.

Interesting.. I've always looked at the S50 in my M3 and thought it looked possible for someone with the right skills.

Redesigning the pan, headers, turbo layout and intake pretty much negates all the benefits of cost-effective, out of the box and proven aftermarket parts available for the 2JZ engine.
You would shoot yourself in the foot big time tilting the engine for just the reason of reusing the stock 944 brake booster/master cylinder.
But then I would be happy to be proven wrong.

It would be much cheaper and more funtional to remove Booster etc and put in a pedal box.

Perhaps for really tall people Spence. Yes, you would lose some leg room although it's not all that much. I'd still be exploring that option before committing to clocking the motor and dealing with all the fall out of that.

There was also a guy in Puerto Rico that put 2JZ into 951 about 15-yrs ago.
And a guy in Chile that put 1JZ into a 944 back in 2004.
