I would think that you probably won't have too much trouble with it. You may lack a little bit of torque on the lowend (well, at least for the size of the engine) but that thing will absolutely scream when it hits the powerband. I don't think you should have any serious problems, plus that engine will have close to 400 horsepower and equal torque, so torque downlow will be a bit less but probably comparable to a stock 5.0L. I don't have any experience though, but thought i'd give my opinion since no one else posted
