u said it has 44.000 miles. a 5.0 pushing those numbers means its far from stock( its had more done that just bored .030 over), its prolly been ragged on, and who knows the quality of the build if your buying second hand.

and 5.0 are available brand new...just depends the money u want to spend.

and now you say its not going to be cheap. glad to see u realized your 1200 claim was a bit off.
