i believe the point i was trying to make was that the 2JZ has the same bore/stroke as the 3S, but longer rods (every little bit helps...). so i'm not talking necessarily longer-than-stock, just in general.
there is actually a guy who is/was (haven't seen updates for a while) doing basically what you're talking about
: he put a spacer on top of his block, bonded/welded it to the block, re-did the oil and coolant passages, sleeved it, and is running rods so his ratio is 2:1. a TON of work, but i'm curious to see his results.
