Make sure the compression ratio will be correct. CC the head and stuff. I
always wanted to do this swap, for ultimate bottom end strength. With
piston jets, and a generally beefy build, you'll have massive revvability. :)

But I would drop in a hi-flow JH solid lifter oil pump. I had said
something before about the hydro/solid pumps, but I'm not 100% sure. Check
with the ultimate athority, Mike Potter :) 

This sounds like the PERFECT motor to turbocharge to the limit!
