Nice, it's good to hear I can just grab any old 5S.

I was contemporary with the idea of using a Caldina head to gain COP ignition. It's starting to sound like more work than worth.

If your going aftermarket ECU (which you should) adding COP is a walk in the park and doesn't "require" a Caldina head.

True, just buy some toyota echo coils, make a plate the mount them (1 hour) wire the coils in and off you go.
You can wire into the stock cam angle sensor for signal.
Keep your exiting head. The seat of the pants difference is negligible.

It does have the beefier mains hey?  I was starting to think all the AUD 5SFE's had the less beefy main caps.  All the US 5S engines seem to have the beefier items.

My beefier block didn't have the beefier mains. Used my beefier 3S ones.

Late camry, they don't have the beefy mains.  I've had at least 4 late camry blocks and the AUD ones have the less beefy main caps, whereas the US camry block I had had the beefier mains.  You can use your 3SGTE mains but its VERY highly recommended the line bore the main journal (infact, probably NECESSARY).  I was going to do this on my engine.
