Default Whats the best motor swap?

To be a little more clear... im considering a motor swap but I dont want to go carburator I want to stay fuel injected. Ive just heard bad things about the 5.0 block so wouldnt it be worth it to swap in a new 4.6 with ob2?

NO NO NO NO NO

There is absolutly nothing wrong with 5.0 blocks except that its not safe to exceed 500rwhp wiht them... do you really think you are going to? Prob not.

why not just go with a 351 they are almost as common as a 5.0 and they can hold so much more power
