Stick with the 5.0, lots of parts and complete engines available, the 351 if converting to efi may need computer changes etc. and probably more costly and problematic on a limited budget. Good Luck

has this engine ever been rebuilt? if not bore it 30 over and rebuild it. It will be alot better. If you still dont like it, i agree stick with a 5.0, but try to find something else.....but a rebuild, and some good aftermarket parts are a nice way to perk up the engine.

Go with a forged short block...Get some explorer heads and intake...You should notice a nice gain...And then you have a built motor that can handle a poweradder...
