That's the basic plan. This exercise was intended to find an engine I could potentially swap in instead. I didn't want to do all the work of opening up the block and then find an engine I could swap in that is more efficient and possibly have more power.
I still have time until my friend's garage gets built (at which point, I will have a place to do it and an expert to help), so I have time to make a decision, but I am having a problem finding a good engine to swap. That was point of starting this thread, to get some ideas. It looks like the NZ engine would be my best option, but I don't want to do it, unless there is a fairly large increase in FE. (1MPG isn't going to be worth it, 10MPG is a different story.)
