RB25 block with an RB20 head and a Garrett GT3071R

So I have read online how terribly hard it would be to put this combination together but apparently someone did it. Not sure why but that is why I am here. Other than remarks that aren't helpful to the discussioin, could someone tell me what benefit this would have if any? If the changes were difficult I would assume that changing over to the 25 head would be a pain in the as* or not feasible at this point?

Thanks in advance. :confused:

No reason to do this, RB20 heads flow substantially less than RB25 heads, bore size between the 2 engines is different and some combustion chamber work would likely be needed on the 20 head.

The 20 Head would likely perform worse on a 25 block due to the increase in flow potential from the additonal displacement.
