Default Some engine info needed ca18et/det

hi, guys, my poor silvia has been sitting at my mums for the past 5 years with big ends fubbered, and am clearing my garage to actually get it to my house so i can work on it again and get it back on the road.

I currently have the mk1 engine in it, and i want the mk2 engine, mainly because the oil feed for the turbo, as i have a botched one on mine after it started leaking, and its easier to get the later other oil feed as its same as DET engine.

my question is, i only need a bottom end, and for sourcing parts purposes, could i use a DET bottom end with ET inards, I know there would be no benefit power wise, only thing i know of is different are the head bolts, is there anything else that may stop me, just easier to get DET lumps than ET lumps?

Cheers.
