Engine swap

I have a 92 Bronco with a 5.0L auto(E4OD trans),I am planning on buying a crate motor in the near future. My question is, do I replace it with another 5.0 or do I go with a 5.8? Is there alot to the conversion to do this? Is there any advantages or disadvantages? I would appreciate any input.
Thanks ,

I would go to the 5.8 engine for the extra power. You will need other parts though if you go with the 5.8. Upper and lower manifolds, exhaust manifolds, oil pan, etc. I'm doing it with my 90 Bronco but I found a complete, although disassembled engine from an 89 Bronco so I have everything that I need. Except money that is, as I'm planning on making it a 393 or 408 before it goes in.
