That's pretty much the only reasons. The Supra 30-60 has larger clutches and steels as well. I'd only recommend it if your towing a lot or have a high HP stroker motor.

Did you get a new head? Or service the old one? If so where'd ya take it?

No I got one from u pull. The motor and head were from there in the beginning had them hot tank, flux, pressure test and surface. It lasted almost 6 months I don't know why it failed. I took it to knightons, I've had good luck with them especially with turn arounds. Dropped it off Tuesday at 10 and about 2 it was done. 88 bucks isn't too bad.

Wow that's way cheaper than what I was getting quoted. I'm thinking of doing it this weekend, since my new radiator and manifold came in.

the head from u pull was like 40 the machine work was 88 so about 130 give or take. There was another head off a 95 that had 127k on it. The head I got was off a 98 but I didn't get the mileage. It was dirty like the intake was just sucking oil but everything was tested fine with a pressure test.

Sadly, I have a 96 with the 630 head. I think the 95 had the 7120. Probably just have to get my current head fixed if its still good.

The 7120 and the 0630 are pretty much matched the same only difference is the plug for the coolant sensor gauge side. Let me know if you need some help, putting the head on is a pain on the *** unless in on a engine stand then its easy.

Goodies that I've added over the last week or so. Factory fog lights with switch panel, cruise control, gentex mirror with compass temp and auto dim, autopal
with previously installed harness, and headliner with sound bar with vanity mirrors and map lights. Also have another cluster to swap then mileage gets highter so ill have a tach and gauges instead on lights if you didn't notice.

Damn, I was hoping to hear it was crazy easy. YouTube lied! I may have to pick your brain one of these days. I really want her back up for the winter.

Junk yard out of a 01 suburban its nicer then the other one where it only shows temp or compass one at a time. I have another one its one of the OnStar mirrors everything works out its just a little bigger then that one.

Actually doing it is easy, its just setting the head on is a pain. I didnt have any dowel pins on my block so that what make it really hard as the gasket wanted to slide around. And I also installed it with the intake and exhaust too since I its easier to do them off the jeep where you can get to the bolts easy, but it adds more weight to a 60 pound head and then the reach over the fenders and grille.
