If i remember correctly someone posted a thread like this before. I think there might be some sort of clearance issue when it comes to the headers clearing the steering shaft.

Many things to consider when going from a small engine to the big one.
There is going to be more weight on front end and supension and brakes.
More torque on a light transmission and rear end made for small engine.
Raditors and as said clearance may be problem.
Good luck.
