Re: begining of a dream
A 5.0 swap will haul ass, and it's true 4 cylinders are difficult, BUT not impossible. Forced induction is always an option. You could run a low boost build on your motor or if you have mechanical know-how, you can swap inerds in it for a higher boost build. There's guys making 300 at the wheels for less then the difference of a 2.3 and 4.0 off the showroom floor. A good place for information is TurboRangerForums.com if you're honestly interested. I am a member there and I love the place. One of the few forums where EVERYONE is super nice lol. The choice is yours, good luck with your build either way!
