All in all would it be smarter to keep the V6 - dress that up - add like a procharger with an intercooler? it would def be alot easier...but still....its not a 5.0 but i guess i could just buy one, unless i can get it on TLC's OverHaulin' HAHA and believe me im trying....[/quote]

Smarter? Yes. Engine swaps can bring up many issues, some hidden some not. They tend to take at least twice the amount of time and money planned. You said the motor and tranny installation would be the last thing in your buildup to show quality. Unless everything else is already done, I suggest making it your first item because it could get messy and nickup finished work. Also keep in mind that there may be a point of no return. Inother words you are committed to the swap like it or not.

Another way of looking at the project: Figure out how much the crate motor, driveline and tranny would cost in parts alone, and start figuring what you could do to the current motor with that amount of cash. Take it from stock to wild!
