For those who dont know, a 2TGEU is a Toyota 1600. 2 valves per cylinder, Double overhead cams. Its pretty similar in concept and execution to the Lotus Twin Cams that the pommies stuffed into MkI and MkII Cortinas.

What year is that engine? Im looking to go for forced induction tho.
Im guessing it would be similar dimensions to a 4agze?

I am really struggling to find a half decent mk II to start my project with, if any1 knows of a decent mk II for sale in SA could they let me know, i am prepared to pay decent money for a 2 door especially.
