im personally surprised more gt owners swap instead of going 5sgte route. ats racing seems to have favor torwards the 2.2l for some of their builds and higher power cars.

Copied and pasted from the other thread...
Personally, I like having a larger displacement. Just 2 words of caution on using the 5S block. Mainly focused on those of you without large sums of money floating around. If you're going to be spending 20k in your engine, these are both moot.... 1-It has no oil squirters. Not the end of the world. Manny is putting some nice power down without them. Others are as well. And yes they can be machined to accept them. But that's a good bit of time and money. It's not "easy" as someone stated....... Just one more aspect of reliability, as far as I'm concerned.... 2-If you plan on running the stock bottom end, the rod:stroke isn't too good for the higher RPMs the G head can sustain. Nor are the rods/pistons/rings designed for those higher rpms. --------------------  |
