I just recently talked it over with them? and if I can either 1) save enough money for a trade in on a 5.0 or 2) and engine swap... btw I have a lot of money in this car, not so much to the engine though. that's the only reason I'm considering a swap. just wanted to get the more experienced guys opinion on this. so what do you guys think? trade or swap?

I say trade, with a swap it will never run like a factory car. what do you mean by lots of money? all exterior stuff? do you still have the stock stuff? if not, trade someone for their stock stuff plus some cash so you can make some of that money back to either help you get into a 5.0 or help put some new parts on the 5.0.

thanks for the advice, and yeah the front for messed up so it now had a GT/CS front end, I installed an alpine 8" navigation system in it, gt500 spoiler, 20" Vossens, just exterior. I don't have my stock wheels anymore. I figured doing a swap would bring extra issues too
