Default 2jzge head question. are head parts between gte and ge interchangable?

hey i've decided to build my ge block and head., now the question i have is when i go head shopping for parts such as cams, valves and plain old head internals....can an hks cam for a gte fit a ge? i know manifolds wont work, that i know already, but i will be going custom turbo manifold and custiom sheet metal intake manifold. i just need to know where and if yes they do interchange. thanks and hope for some feed back.

From the top of my head, these are the parts that are interchangeable:

Cam gears (non-vvti)
Cams - Intake only
Headgasket
Valvetrain (valves, springs, retainers, etc)

Exhaust cams are different. GE has distributor drive gear.You will
have to delete the distributor & go coil on plug like the GTE.

you can get 272's for the GE head. I got a set that were regrinds and they are just waiting to be installed.

The only exhaust cam shaft currently compatible with the 2JZ-GE are the TTC performance cam shafts (http://ttcperformanceproducts.com/tt...-268-2268.html).

You can also use a 1jz head and make a 1.5jz as well.

And remember, GTE valve covers fit the GE too, so when you go FFIM, you'll have a badass looking GE
