I had a hard time reading your post haha. Long block or short block....hmm front clip sounds great.

[playr158]

long block and short block are just different break downs of 1 motor...think of it as sections

learn:

GT tranny will bolt up just fine obviously
and no there is no vtech :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

from these questions, i'm going to strongly suggest you are NOT ready for a swap.
you need to do a LOT of research and understanding
