Are you confused because there's possibly differences between 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton?

If you want 1/2 ton, swap as much as you can.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
