A couple bits of info in this thread, albeit they are asking about going from a 3g to 2g. Not a ton of content I can find on these forums. https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-p...ine-2g-959393/

What makes you think your motor is about to blow? Do you think it's top end or bottom end issues (or both)?

Even though you have a 2g motor handy, I've seen 3.2s from the 3G going for pretty cheap online around me on craigslist, marketplace... In the event that a 2g swap isn't worth the time/money/effort, I would think that it'd be optimal just to get the same motor based on its apparent availability. Hopefully someone else here can chime in with details.

Unless you're changing/machining the crankshaft, the nose on the 2G crankshaft is too long for 3G. The older j32 has 2nd lip for the ps pulley.
