[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15874824, member: 188865"] As far as one being a torque monster and the other not, a 5.2 liter with a positive displacement blower will roast the tires in any gear and virtually any speed. So unless you tub the car out in the back, I'm not sure that too much torque with one setup is going to be appreciably different than too much torque with another setup. Both are going to make more torque than the chassis can handle. The difference being that the bigger block is just going to be more weight in the front. From the dyno sheets I've seen, a blown voodoo makes like 500+ ft-lbs of torque at like 3k rpms all the way to redline. Unless you're just wanting that unique factor, my advice would be to sink the money into hogging out the cylinder heads to drop the compression or swapping the internals and doing a dished piston to lower it a bit. You'd be much better off to make the voodoo bullet proof than swap out blocks. And for any unique factor points you get for running a 5.4 or a 5.8, you're going to lose a ton of uniqueness in the exhaust note. If having a 5.4/5.8 is crucial, why not just throw money into a 500 and upgrade the suspension components and widen it out to be a comparable handling car to the 350? [/QUOTE]
