I'm new to this forum and wanted to say whatsup to everybody. I got an 05 saleen sc and a 1998 gt that I use as a daily driver. I recently blew a head gasket on the 98 and I'm trying to decide whether I should go ahead and throw a 5.0 forged short block in there since the motor has over 100k miles and I spray a 100 shot. Some input will help me out. Thanks

Welcome.
If you didn't ruin the rings or bearings yet, just fix the head gasket.
A modular engine build up, is extremely costly.
And nitrous may sound like a cheap quick fix for power, but it's not.
By the time you buy all the goodies to make it work to potential, you are at like a grand. Then you have refills that can be around $50 a pop.
If anything on the 98, do a PI head conversion while it's apart to do the head gaskets.
Then use the rest of the cash for a 465 upgrade on the Saleen.
