In any case, the heads are coming off and a set of GSC S2's, Beehive springs/Ti retainers and new valve stem seals are going in.
I plan on pulling the FA20 in April after we move into our new house and it should be a fun build.

Bad ass! I have found a fellow 2JZ FT86 brother lol. I just picked up a BRZ and recently joined this forum. My build has been on the low but I will cameo the venture in this thread. I went with the Xcessive Engineering 2JZ FT86 engine mount kit as well.
If you are already in the engine, you might as well do the heads. I replaced the water pump, timing belt, pulled the heads (Stage II PnP) and also went with the GSC S2s mated with the Beehive springs. Heads are fully built along with the bottom end. Don't forget about the billet modified oil pump, billet tensioner, and damper. I went with an ATI super damper crank pulley. I have the V160 6-speed trans with a ATS triple carbon clutch. Still trying to decide on the rear-end and the DS will of course come from the Driveshaft shop. More details will be in my build thread which will be created once I drop the engine in.
Which intake manifold are you going with slicktop? I went with a Virtual Works with a 90mm TB.
Time to share some photos:
If you or anyone else needs some help/advice with a 2JZ build, please give me a shout. I would be glad to help.

You can always swap out the oil pans if need be.
2JZ Front sump oil pan VS. 2JZ Rear sump
