Default Rebuild or Swap?????

Hey there everyone!

I currently own a 95 mustang GT with AODE. This is gonna be a serious project car in the future (not now because im in school ) and I was wondering if it is better to rebuild my current 5.0 or if its better to swap in a 351 or perhaps a modular motor. I guess money wont be muchh of an issue in the future I hope, except I dont want to spend more than 20k on total performance (engine, suspension, transmission, looks, interior) So what do you guys think
My current motor has been always taken good care off, although I'm unforutunatley not the first owner, and the engine has 114k miles on it right now.
any feedback will be appricieated.

Thanks

It all depends on what you are going to be using it for. If it's just going to be a light street/strip car, rebuild it with a stroker kit. If it's going to see serious track duty, upgrade the block!
