True, true.

But with the original question, it's very difficult to do a 5.0 swap, and most often it's most cost and time effective to buy a 5.0, and work from there.

You can often find solid Fox 5.0's for 2000 or so, and that leaves a nice 1000 to build up the motor, plus whatever you manage to sell your LX for, say... 1000-1500 is normal, so you'd be looking at 2000 for the car, and 2000-2500 for modding the car. That'll easily buy a nice exhaust, headers, and full intake.
