How did it turn out?
I'd suspect the 351 had the advantage off the line, but if the race was long enough the 5.4 would reach it's power range. At least mine doesn't seem to like running under 2k RPMs, is a scalded dog at 3k.

210 HP, 328 LB-FT.
The 94/95 Lightning 5.8, which came with GT40 heads, tubular GT40 intake manifold, and a "marine" cam made 240 HP and 340 LB-FT.

I have 4.56 gears (and 35" tires) and I still think my old 300I6 with 4spd granny would take it off the line in second gear (first wound out at 15mph with the 3.55 gears and 31" tires).
