Yes I am 100% happy I did the swap. I am actually planning another 5.0 swap in a little bigger car. Details need finalized yet but should be fun. As far as track numbers, we were at the strip bsing and boozing and the promoter was over thanking us for coming down. He mentioned he could make a whole class just for us. Well he did and called it the stag drags. I made the decision that I was having enough problems starting the car that I didn't need to break it more. Dad was on the same boat. He blew a trans line on the way down. As soon as we got home we both said we shoulda ran em. We had people 2 hours away with trailers looking for an excuse to come down. Might have been able to go a round or two. Oh well.
I think the only thing I would change would be mass air. The speed density works great but I think it would run better. I guess I don't know. The car doesn't run hot with the mechanical fan and shroud but you know the car is hot. I can go from 55 down to a stop sign when hot and it seems it doesn't want to idle. Could be low grade fuel in 90 degree weather or it could be me engine breaking while I slow down. I don't know.
One thing I do know is my wife loves the driveabilty of the swap. The only thing that we both agree I. Is the a/c needs charged.
