I have an 88 5.0lx, it has about 94k on it. I am debating on getting a long block for it. I have about $2000 to spend. The stock motor still runs great. I found a long block for my price range it sets at about 350hp.I would like to just modify the stock motor but i dont know if i can get it to 300hp for that money? also does anyone think that there are to many miles on this motor to start adding upgrades? will the motor hold out? any recomendations would be gret thanks!
