Yes, it's a direct swap.
Use lighter aftermarket pistons and have it balanced, all the OEM type pistons are now the low compression variety 8 to1 and are 850 grams +.
Good aftermarket pistons are 600 to 700 grams and you can get the compression ratio you want.
If your needing a crank and pistons I would look at a stroker kit, a 4.15 crank will get you close to 500cid.
Can you say burning 🔥 rubber torque.
