Any motor can have the timing profile changed.
What I'm saying is, if you can keep the timing profile of the Evo2 with a evo 3 crank, it would be a hot motor. This is somewhat IDM has done, used the EVO 3 with evo 2 timing profile.IIRC, it's a 0.2mm shim under the lip of the sleeve. Timing can be altered by physically moving the sleeve up or down, or by cutting the crank intake. Search around there's a thread explaining engine timing and mods.

thats good info. im kinda skiddish on mod'd motors
i like the predictability of a factory motor. because i am just getn really good at tuning. i have seen some tuning nightmares out of mod'd ones.
i may get a idm or tuned jl. i think im sold on them for a while. i like jps too

I love these motors too, only complaint is the short life span on the rods. Seems picco will never get away from the reputation of having the notorious premature rod failures. It's the only brand of motor I have ever encountered that needs a rod change every 2 gallons.

My buddy at 301 has the red dot .12 and he ran 4 gallons on his motor before popping the rod.

- however I lost a good 45sec to 1 min run time.I added 0.2mmm under the sleeve ( used a modified head shim) and removed the same amount from between the sleeve and the head button.
Easy trick that can easily be reversed - I will try 0.1mm next and see what that does

anyone got any tips for bearing removal? i got it heated up to 400 degrees, the front popped right out, but the rear is being very stubborn.
