build a 5.0 if youre going to spend money. there less alot less parts to a 5.0 and they have a better power potential. alot more parts on the market for them too.

very easy and cheap compared to mod motors. a excellent set of heads will set you back 1300 dollars but you will realize 40+ horsepower to the wheels alone.

add a cam and intake along with all the other supporting mods and you'll make close to 300 at the wheels.
