[QUOTE="Makoto, post: 1498551, member: 21863"] aluminum block 2v rebuild with an aftermarket top end because you forgot the biggest pro: you'll shave 85lbs off the front end immediately I think the aluminum blocks need one hole drilled for coolant for the GT heads and other than that its a direct swap. that + higher compression pistons + twisted wedge heads/cams would probably get you over 400crank hp and have a top end that just goes and goes. that with some 4.10's and you'd be hurting some feelings and you'd save a TON of headache. when people tell you "its basically plug and play" they are usually full of shit. nothing aftermarket, nothing swapped, none of it, unless it is literally an identical part made of a different material, is plug and play.
