you should listen to PVD.... he sounds like he knows everything.
If you have to ask yourself what double the torque and potentially triple or more horsepower will do for you in a 2800lb car..... then you may need a swift kick in the nuts too . The car will haul ***.
Putting an all iron V8 weighing 600lbs will not perform the same as an all aluminum V8 weighing 450lbs... especially in the handling department.
Remember this conversion needs an overdrive transmission as you'll be turning 4K+ on the highway with 4:10's and normal size tires. Then take into account redoing your fuel/cooling system/custom driveshaft/exhaust. Aside from that it is pretty straight forward.
