Default I want a bigger engine. How big can I go?

I have a 1996 GT with around 170k and it is about time I look into getting a new engine or rebuilding the one I have. I don't know to much about the mechanical aspects of engine but I figure that a 5.0 should fit. I need to know what else I would have to do in order to get the best performace out of the switch. Also, is it possible to go even bigger, maybe a 5.4 or anything else. I just want to know if it would be worth it and if it would work. Thanks.

You can go as big as you want if you got deep enough pockets.

5.4 wouldbe a practical, and not too expensive swap, like someone said a navigator swap would be good, that's a 5.4L engine with 4v heads. it'd be the most cheapest route probably if you want bigger displacement with modular motors in stangs.

+1 The powerstroke would fit lol with a little work. But its too heavy. The put a duramax in a C5 Z-06 so anythings possible. But man how sick would that be.
