Can I ask why you are planning this swap? Wouldn't it make more sense to just buy a GT?

A crate engine and tranny still puts me under $4,000 the cost of a GT
Also, the crate engine I am going to purchase will be one with more HP and torque than a GT engine

If your $4000 under that means you found an engine and tranny for less then $3000. I would think you would also need to replace some of the stock parts in order to power a bigger engine. Are you going to do all the work yourself ? If you have to pay someone else then the price will continue to grow.
