I felt the same way about my old 3.8 at first. But, it is a reliable DD mine had just under 370,000 and ran great. If your going to swap to an 8 you have to upgrade the trans to a V-8 one, and the diff, the 7.5 and V6 trans will last only so long behind a 5.0.
Oh, and with EEC-IV you dont need a comp to tell you whats wrong, just a paper clip and your eyes
