It sounds good, but these things are hard to fit up sometimes. You would have a lot of parts to fabricate, including mounts, bellhousing, etc. Then there's the computer and wiring...

A Ford Coyote 5.0 makes 412+ hp naturally aspirated (recent dyno tests show 460 hp at the flywheel), 4 valves/cyl, 4 cams, and is a $6k crate motor. Motor mounts & bellhousing can be purchased, and the computer/wiring is easy with Ford Racing Part's hot rod kit. The engine was designed with turbocharging and supercharging in mind, and you can purchase a crate engine with forged pistons and better rods. This is a stout little motor that has a chance of working better than the Toyota V8 in a Pantera. I have nothing against the Lexus/Toyota engine, but it seems that there are better deals for Ford/Chevy engines. Some have even put a Chevy LS motor in their Panteras with great success, and that one isn't hard as well for similar reasons to the Ford.
