put the ge head on the gte block if your hp goals are 600 whp or under. It is a good combo.

If you have the full GTE I'd just rebuild it and put it in.

The head needs rebuilt or the block does? And I'd do some research on putting the GTE head on a GE block before you jump in head first, it's probably a little more involved than you think.
