Use 7mgte block as a 7mge??

The GTE has lower compression pistons, so, if you've used stock spec pistons or ones with an even lower CR it'll be a dog of a N/A. The oil squirters are a bonus.

As for mounting parts everything I can think of will fit fine, but the GTE uses two knock sensors bouth mounted outward from center and the GE uses only one mounted ner the center. To use the GE electronics you'll either need to use two knock sensors and splice the wires into the one line that runs to the ECU OR you'll need to drill and tap the center boss for the GE's knock sensor.

Intake cams are different, you'll probably want to swap those as well.

Motor mounts are also different.

Other than those few things there's nothing else that isn't evident.

Oh, and you'll want to run GE spark plugs
