Pluses include not having to break the motor tranny up, banging the engine bay or motor, banging up my knuckles, sliding that heavy ass tanny and transfer case under the truck and up into the frame and dealing with the fabbing up an exhaust system from underneath.

I've got a 1" body lift on my 2002 and that was the only saving grace swapping in/out my re-built V6 in as there were 2-3 bolts on the bell housing that would have proved impossible otherwise. Sounds good, this is a far better swap than a Lexus 4.0L V-8, while more difficult than a supercharger the power would be worth itand longevity more likely!
