Wait wait wait, so you're swapping from one 4.8 to another 4.8? Why?

Why not swap those parts onto your current 4.8? Why not go with more cubes if you're going through the trouble?

He is swapping to a gen IV motor which has advantages.

To the OP I wouldn't go big in a 4.8 even with a 4400 and 4.10s in a RCSB. I feel like the motor just can't swallow the duration. Honestly a split duration low LSA with healthy lift will net the biggest gains. Maybe something like a 228/232 .60x/.60x LSA111 would work well. Everything about this motor wants hi rpms, but I think you need more compression.
