Exclamation Suggestions for a new v8

I have a 2007 v6 mustang. I love my car dearly but just like any other guy i want more and more. I have thought about just buying a procharger for the v6 but that would only put me at somewhere around 325-375 hp for about $5,000. I have seen in mustang magazines a 476 hp dart engine for right under that. So besides the dart engine i would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for a good v8 that later down the road after i get it can put a supercharger on it. Thanks

Have you thought about perhaps just trading in while you're miles are (I'm assuming) fairly low and purchasing the new 5.0 2011. Anyways, if you could get your hands on one of those and do a transplant, that'd be cool. You thinking of doing the swap yourself?

Don't forget with a V8 upgrade U also need to upgrade the cooling system, front suspension, tranny, rear end,, yada yada.. a bunch of little things. just sell the whole car & buy an 8, it's cheaper

There are many far cheaper blower options for the V6 that will net you more power.
