The "JDM" 5vz's out there are almost all from from vans (HiAce, I believe) instead of Surfs. This means that most of the parts on the outside of the engine (basically everything but the long block) must be changed due to the different mounting and packaging in the different vehicle. At least the engine itself (block, heads, etc.) is the same as the USDM 5VZ engines.

Another thing I’d like to ad is that I think it would be really unique to say you have a JDM 5VZ. Like it doesn’t get any better than that. It’s straight from the motherland. But it also makes you wonder, why would there be all of these engines just lying around? Are they all beat to hell? Like what’s the story behind them?
Sorry if I sound dumb, it has been quite a long day today.
