get a b series or turbo yours.... there is no such thing as fast all motor d series, unless you want to spend major coin and for that money you could build a beast of a b series. Mini me swaps suck... sorry

Uh...no. Hot bath is to clean all of the grime off of the block. So "like new" but not new.

It doesn't work like that, at all. There's no way for a "hot bath" to rebuild all your rings, bearings, bore distortion, seals, valve guides, etc etc.

Hot Tanking (is what its actually called) is the process used to clean engine blocks and cylinder heads prior to being rebuilt so they're nice and clean for the machinist to work on. It will make the parts LOOK brand new, but it does not fix any defects.

Magnafluxing, media blasting and the likes will help further check these parts for defects.
