Reply to "Should I build up the original engine in my GT5S or keep it stock"

Keeping a “spare engine” would greatly reduce the down time of the car.

If you have your motor built and checked out (already run on a stand, and even dyno’ed), then pulling your original, and installing the new engine COULD BE done as a long weekend job!

Note I say “could be”….

Nevertheless, building a complete replacement certainly lets you build your motor with a more relaxing timeline!

Thats what I have done, and at this point, I don’t swap as many of the accessories. I think I keep the flywheel, intake manifold, heads, oil pan, and perhaps the water pump on my spare…
