it's too heavy....it won't be as streetable as a 5.0...will be a pain to work on...you will have to pull the motor to change the spark plugs....etc...if you are creating a drag car, then go for it...the extra wieght will keep the nose down.

Or, you could spend the time learning how to spell and how to use correct punctuation.
