First off it's a 4v. 3v is the new body style GT. If you want to put in a 4v its an easy swap. If you want ot put in a 3v then you've got your work cut out for you.

Mach one would definately be worth it. Way easier than 3 valve too.

SO i need the engine, and a reflash? nothing else? Would a t-45 handle it ok? What is the max power a T-45 can safety handle?
Wouls i need a bigger fuel pump??? anything besides a reflash?
