hey everyone i was possibly considering doing an engine swap on my 94 i currently have the 4.0 in there with some basic mods done but if i were to switch to the 5.0 motor would it make a huge difference i guess what im askin is would the gains be worth all the work???

depends on which 5.0 and how good you are working on vehicles, you will always have problems with it and its a pain to put in on a normal truck. The v-8 rumble and torque are very nice but my 4.0 will outrun the old mustang 5.0 I had it just dosent feel as fast. Torque is a beautiful thing.
