Holy sh!t. This is the exact direction my machine shop wants to take the 2F... modern piston geometry and longer rods. I’m going to hit you up off to the side to try and add to your scope 
Can’t wait to see this come together!

What are you doing for air/fuel delivery? Do you have to go back with a smogged carb?
Can you register it in another state and do fuel injection?

I'm CA kid and I love it here. I do like the smog regulations except with the blanket "no modifications." Fuel injection would make that pig run so much better and cleaner. The EFI I put on my 70s sbc made a huge difference.

when I was younger I used to go all overboard on retrofitting engine stuff to eek out every drop of blood. Now I'm on the conservative fence. Since this pig came to me with 98% of it original components in a notch above then reasonably good condition I felt inclined to maintain the grace and poise of the pig she is. Although I have added a lot of accessories, they are easily removable to restore it to her factory good looks. If I were younger with more time left on the books I'd have 2 beauties, one on steroids and one for just the beauty that she is. Currently just trying to reach a balance between the two and not break her , me or the bank.

Well, my hot air delivery is on this forum and any other soap box or beer keg I can find to stand on!!!
But sweet piggies gas is still going to be delivered through the same orifices she was born with and that CA approves of.
But I am installing an air/fuel sensor with gauge so that I can keep it set at the most optimum setting. The bung has been installed on the exhaust just below the manifold connection.
Stop ****ing around and turbo it,let's see what the little Toyota engine is actually capable of.
So, in straight talk. You have a monster motor and will be putting a fully smogged Aisin carb back on it?
Stop it.
Stop it.

At least have Mark A go through the carb for you
I would do a smog test then go home and add a sniper.
Repeat yearly.

A Sniper is a simple fuel injection system from Holley. You could literally install one in a couple hours. Use it all year. Pull it off for the silly test.
Repeat.
None of the other systems have self contained computers so they would not be that easy to swap on and off.

Yes sir.
Mark A and Jim C are the Aisin carb masters.
I know Jim will re-curve your dizzy as well, not sure if Mark does?
