ok cool thanks for the info poil..I just wanted to make sure that it is possible to even do the top swap with the GT1 cam..and yes I know I will lose the HV3 but it would be worth it to me..I still don't understand why I can't have the HV3 there..I guess I will just have to sell it.

And I know the 97 tranny isn't the best..but I'm going to have a custom tranny file put into it so that it should hold up, and ill do the fluid flush and the filter change to help it as well..its held up pretty good so far..
