You would be better off building a shortblock off your current block. The aluminators are ok, but for the price you can build a MUCH better shortblock.
The difference is compression, if you plan on boost, stay in the 9.5:1 range with a 4v.

In my case I have a 99 GT auto tranny and would like to upgrade to a 4V engine. The Aluminator long block offered by FRPP seems like a very cost effective alternative to me.
In my case what is needed? I also plan on changing the tranny to a T-56 but on the long term. I'd like to keep my tranny and start with the engine.
Any suggestions?
