#6 was making a big 12psi, even on a wet compression test, so we put a Jasper long block in. At the same time, we replaced the 2 broken engine mounts, A/C clutch set, radiator, oil cooler, most of the hoses, the belt, & the water pump. Hooker long-tube ceramic-coated headers were installed, which required blocking off the EGR. The unused plumbing for secondary air to the (nonexistent) cats was deleted & the oil pressure gauge was converted to actually work.
