V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Dan Long, post: 816661, member: 65387"] Richard, maybe you should take a step back and calm down..... you're starting to sound like Frank.:blink: Bill, I said bolt-ons.... with the option of stroking it if you want. A $500 set of Torque Monster headers, an intake spacer, and roller rockers go a long way on the Explorer 5.0 with the GT40P heads. The proper cam is even better if you want to go a step further. No need for a Lentech tranny at those power levels. A couple hundred for the Bauman shift kit and solenoid upgrades will be well spent though. I have no plans to race my truck, but I sure would like the availabilty of an extra 50-75 HP and 100-150 ft/lbs of torque when needed. I don't plan on rebuilding before the install. My Explorer had 263,000 miles on it and ran perfect. I'll tend to any oil leaks or immediate concerns, do a tune up and install a few bolt-ons, but that's it. [/QUOTE]
