I'm still annoyed that they actually call these engines 'Mod Motors' when there's nothing modular about them. LOL
Great swap sir!! I have a 2000 P71 that I'm salivating over swapping in the new 5.0 and a 6-speed. Just need the cash.

picking nits, i would say "a few" instead of "plenty"...
In my case, I want to do things in stages. Also, I was able to find a very very low mileage(15k) and relatively young('05) N/A 5.4 for only $700. This seemed like a better starting point than a lightning engine that has a higher likelihood of being beaten.
I want to address how poorly the stock heads flow next. They're worse than I would have guessed.
If I'm still not satisfied I will move on to forced induction, but then we've got a new set of worries and questionable practicality to deal with.

In reply to Vigo:
They're modular... for the factory, not for you!
