If the engine had less than 150 on it and was trouble free, I'd say go for it. With over 300? I'd find a healthy lower milage engine.

You should be able to find a low mileage V10 out there. It fits!

If you want a cheap and cool thing to do. Very doable.

I have the same miles on my 5four, - 308,000 lol.
