    Thanks Tony! I appreciate the help! I have Rob who use to own SCV in Scottsdale working on the conversion for me. I really appreciate the offer!

    I'm just looking for some parts to complete the swap.

    I'd do both of those no matter what you do, and at a minimum do the head cooling mod to make sure you've got the head cooling issues covered. I'm assuming this is a stock motor so it doesn't have the improved heads correct? Prior to, I'd thourougly check the plugs as well to check for signs of prior abuse/detonation or improper installation.

    I know these are all very basic suggestions, but these are items i wish someone would have told me about when i bought my cobra. In the end these few mods can save you some big bucks. After those I'd do the headers since this is as easy as it's gonna get to install them, and ported blower/supporting mods.

    So aren't you going to have to do some computer changes as well for this swap?
    +1 on that right there!

Rob who use to work at SVC is going to let me know which rout he is going as he thnks he can just use my computer and just do the tune but he will determin that when we have everything in from of us. I'm going to stop by his house tomorrow and see what he recommends as well and I will mention these suggestions to him.

    I was able to find a KB 2.2 wiht about 8K miles on it for $2K. Is that a good price and would you recommend that over a ported Steg?
    I say the 2.2 but I am a bit biased. I think there was a guy on here selling the new style 2.2 a while ago, he may have it still.

    Really? 540 on pump? That's a lot of power for the Eaton... I think it may be the 5+ you are referring to, but it seems like there hasn't been too many people with feedback that I have seen on the new 5 and 5+. The Stage IV has shown great results.
