Ls fits in the engine bay better. The 5.0 doesn’t clear the hood. ---

If that does clear without modification it’s by very, very little. Reading threads on it right now. “#3 Carbed 5.0’s have been done in the past with VERY low intakes/air filters. You may have to go with a Simpson design hood to make up the room. Even a typical EFI 5.0 swap requires the removal of some of the “hood webbing” from under the hood.” ---

I’ve been on the website more than once pjb. Those hoods are modified on the bottom. ---

When it comes to the 5.0 you run the stock intake manifold or get a new hood/cut a hole in the stock one. With the lsx you can do whatever you want to it. ---

Theres a pic of one with an Explorer GT40 intake and it flows better than the stock HO 5.0. I was thinking it would be cheaper and easier due to already having a parts car. Why do you have a 5.0 parts car anyway? ---

My dad planned on fixing it up but had title issues and decided to just buy two others instead, so the one just sits. ---
