I was thinking about buying a motor from one of the companies that advertise in 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords because I have never assembled my own motor, I dont know how. So I was wondering if there are any reasons why I should'nt. Any incite would be appreciated.

You don't have to do it yourself man, i'm sure there are some engine builders somewhere around you......Anyway, if you do want a pre-built motor, i recommend the 345 hp GT40 crate engine with the B303 cam, and GT40X heads........thats the one i was gonna get but i went the other route.....its a badass motor....
