Then that's more parts to buy to install a GEN 4 motor. 24x to 58x cranks, so either swap reluctor wheels or buy a converter box, then buy all the DOD/AFM delete kits or VVT delete and valley cover, timing cover, then figure out knock sensor harness changes because GEN 4's run them on the side of the block.

Now that newer engine isn't such a slamming deal is it. I will gladly take the extra 100lbs to save myself all the trouble and money.

Install tubular front suspension and light weight wheels to gain pounds back if have too.
