    why is there no reason to use a vortec motor? and if i do take the fuel injection off and use a different intake and carb will the motor still last as long as is would with injection, i plan on findin one with 20,000 to 40,000 miles somewhere in that range

    i personally think you should go with a ford 5.0
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
