That 4.0-litre engine does belong to the GR family (1GR), so why not put on the cylinder head, fancy valvetrain and Dual VVT-i from the 2GR? Unless there is no more room under the hood for it. I read in some thread here that the cylinder head on the 2GR takes up a lot of room, making the 2GR a very tall engine.
