I have read a few different versions of this regarding the difference between GE and GTE.
My understanding, based on some searching, is:
a. Pistons are different, but rods and cranks are the same.
b. Blocks are the same, but GTE has the galleries drilled for the oil squirters.
c. due to the piston shapes, compression ratios are different.
I had a good read of Costa's thread on the 1.5JZ, although he used a GE block. I'll have to find someone who did it with GTE block and see what they have to say as well.
