You don't want to use 300ZX T-25's on your 5.0L.

Even dual T-28's (what some people consider 300ZX "upgrades") are not what I would put on a 5.0.

Friends of mine have always said that 5.0's making over 425 crank horse are a ticking time bomb. Some people make more, but some blow chunks.

500hp is the limit for the stock block. The 5.0s split at that point. Not hating, not picking sides, I love the 5.0, but it's commonly recognized that after 500hp N/A, SC, Turbo, NO2, whatever, they split and you need a newer stronger block.
