How much power can you gain on the 5.0 by changing heads and cam? If you had big money to gut the motor put in the right parts how much hp could you get? I don't mean FI so no turbos, no blower and no juice. The 5.0 with its big bore and short stroke should be able to put out some big power. Sorry if this question seems odd, I don't know much about 5.0. I never even driven one, But I have owned a 03 4.62v, and I like stangs. There's just something about the 5.0's that I like. Please forgive my ignorance, I'd just like to know more. Does anyone have examples?

If your looking for N/A power put a 460 in a 5.0 and make in excess of 500hp

C/Note

alum heads and cam upwards to 70 hp gain possible....[&:]

dont fool with a stock block

the upper limit on stock 5.0 blocks is around 500 HP but they can fail sooner than that also, all depends on the mods you make.
and you can make this kind of HP with the right mods and stay naturally aspirated but maybe not real streetable though.
