sc300 engine is 2jz-ge. Non-turbo. If you have a gte it couldn't have come from an sc300. Lower flowing heads, less aggressive cams, different pistons, fewer piston oil squirters and different rods in the ge from the lexus. The GE and GTE in the supras both have the same connecting rods so they will hold similar power but not the case on all the other car models that the GE block went in. Different part numbers with really thin rods.
Beware if you go to add boost on this engine if it really is a SC300 engine.

GE's can make 600 without breaking a sweat. And GE's actually have slightly better flowing heads than GTE's...

My vote is get a GE, have it rebuilt with Eagles and GTE pistons.

As of late guys who rebuild actually prefer the GE to the GTE if in a USDM car (on club lex at least). They like just adding good pistons which actually don't require the design of the gte pistons which has oil squirters and can be prone to oil pump failure due to more oil requested. So the thinking is to just rebuild the GE with rods and forged pistons and use a 2jzgte oil pump. The real big difference is the intake manifold. GE has the intake run along the hot side of the turbo so yeah not good. Factor all of this in and for 2K you can get a used GTE motor generally good for 400HP with the proper intake design, turbos ecu etc..... Rebuilding the GE also doesn't require a custom harness (all jdm 2jzgte or 1jzgte will require custom harness work no matter what if in a LHD car) GE's are also cheap and readily available in the US. Both motors have good and bad points. Just gives people more options
