I would definitely love to learn more about it.
It is interesting they went to four litres and then back to 3.6. I'll take a stab in the dark that they decide to put in the 4 litre crankshaft to get the extra displacement but then probably didn't see the engine hit as high a redline or rev up to a nice juicy top end that they were hoping for and as such decided to drop down to 3.6 again to achieve the more exciting top end. It is just a guess.
At least this tells me there is at least one other person who has tried the four litre idea and didn't like it in the end. My original idea was to source a land cruiser, prado, hi lux etc 4 litre 1GR as they are absolutely everywhere here and then see what changes I could undergo to make to make it more rev happy. I was hoping I could do something simple like keep the crankshaft to keep it at 4 litres, but then perhaps just swap out the cams and hey presto, after a juicy exhaust intake and tune it might be more rev happy and willing to take boost as a second stage later. However it would seem perhaps this build here is an example that the 4 litre idea may not work so easily enough.
The 2GR in the IS350 is definitely a great candidate. Already in the correct config for rear wheel drive.

Can you take the transmission with the is350 engine?
