I bought a 92 GT that had a 5k mile GT40 crate motor in it, and since I got it some people tell me that the GT40 is the same as a stock motor and others tell me that the block and internals are much stronger. So which is it??

Pretty much the same, helps that everything is new and low miles.

Worse than stock, it has the Hyper pistons but has the better Cobra GT40 Cobra heads and 1.7 RR.
