The 2.5L 1JZ even served to be part of the Toyota's 5.0L V-12 (the 1GZ & 2GZ). Toyota combined two JZs at the crank to make the V-12 and stuck it in its Century Limousine.
The V-12 was famously used in Top Secret's 222mph 1000hp+ Supra.

I had a G series as well, the 1GGTE. Put a whole in the radiator and didn't realise until the engine had burnt all the oil overheating. BUT no gasket gone or anything like what happened with my Nissan RB engine, just a plug popped out of the manifold. Bit of tar and a new plug and away we went.
They say that hooked up to an engine dino the G series will take 50,000 rpm before shooting pistons out. For how long who knows... #i6engine

In its more famous applications, the engine makes one JZ. #i6engine

@Mobius: Camry V6 engines are borderline supercar engines. el oh el.
Lotus has great sense of humor imo they could have always get a partnership for Audi/BMW crate engines, but instead they went with Toyota years ago for the cup cars. #i6engine

Ih, I always dreamed of a Toyota Chaser with the Twin Turbo'd JZ. Just so cool and Q-shippy, especially in white. #i6engine

2JZ swaps are still very popular. #i6engine

I would personally kill for a 600 hp Chaser. Nothing more awesome than seeing two of the big saloons at 150 mph on the Shuto Expressway outside of Tokyo. #i6engine

The oil filter was _optional_ on this engine- that's it in the above pictures off to the right, the speckled white and black jug with the black lid, with the band clamp around it.

The nuts and bolts are large, and placed where you can get to them. Everything's got lots of room around it and there's lots of extra metal.
This was before a host of modern concerns forced the optimization of mass and volume that leads to oddly placed bolts that you strip as you run them into and aluminum head.
*Distributors excepted.

Bonus points to whoever knows what what a gyromatic is without using Google

It's not often that I don't know anything about an engine on EOTD, but you've stumped me here. I've never seen one, touched one, worked on one or tasted one. Mostly because, well, let's face it I'm not a huge Mopar fan, after they killed my beloved Rambler.

Rambler was actually killed in 1983 by Vehiculos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) in Mexico--that's where the last Rambler rolled out.
Of course if you mean, MoPar killed Rambler out on the streets, well, yeah. Killed it a quarter-mile at a time.
