[QUOTE="truebluedevil02, post: 10848555, member: 43475"] yes, all you have to change is when ordering your intake manifold you have to buy one for a 5.8 NOT a 5.0. Most manufacturers make a 5.8L version of there intakes so its not a problem. I know Holley, edelbrock, and TFS have 5.8L intakes. For your specific goals I wou build an engine as follows. 351 block bored to 357 (your gunna need to change pistons anyways) stock football rods, stock crank forged pistons that will give you around 10:1 compression moroso/Canton oil pan (need an after market for the swap IIRC) Your heads, cam, and intake are where you decide the power that the motor will make. That in mind I would PROBABLY go with the following. Edelbrock Victor JR heads (they out flow the AFR 185 and are a good amount cheaper) Holley 5.8L intake manifold A medium size cam (talk to a GOOD engine builder and ask there opinion on the stats) 75mm throttle body big MAF electronic water pump (there pricey, $400ish but they will save you nearly 15hp) Electric fan and upgraded radiator And id finish off with some basic 1 3/4-1 7/8 long tubes with duel 2.5 inch exhaust dumping at the rear axle through a GOOD set of mufflers. The beauty of this is you dont have to come up with everything RIGHT NOW. You can change from a stock water pump at any time, you can also beef up the exhaust later on if your already running a basic exhaust set up. The Throttle body can be upgraded later on as well. If you can come across a stock 5.8l intake then you can use it for a little while. Keeping this in mind will save you close to $2000-$2500 up front but still allow you to get a running/driving car, granted it will not make the power you want with a stock intake, TB, exhaust and water pump BUT you will once you get these things replaced and it will run a good amount better than a stock 5.0 even with those things. Also saving the money up front will allow you to afford some better parts when doing the original build, ie, better bearings, maybe a set of AFR 205 heads (optimum for this build IMO), custom grind cam(also best bet), etc. At any rate I would spring for APR studs just to be safe.
