If you need an engine, sure, it would be fine. If you're looking to upgrade, don't bother. The real upgrade is in the newer O2 based FI, not the engine.

Thank you Mike,
Do you know how long is the driveshaft to do the conversion?4 speed to 5 speed?
In centimeters if possible.
I have a 1975 automatic 530 for parts
