Its a lot of work for not that much power unless you build the engine a little bit. Is it just the engine or is the transmission there too? (Unless their the same...)

It will give an increase in torque over your V6. There are a lot more parts available for the 5.0. It would be a fun project if your area does not require smog testing. It may make it difficult to trade in or sell the car if you decide you want to in the future.
