Any downsides to the 302 5.0 swap?

Pressure in the system is pretty easy to control by using the stock Volvo resevoir with a stock 75 kPa (11 psi) cap.

No downside to my conversion. 275HP/330 lb-ft of torque -- and it gets about the same mileage it did with the 4 cyl - 19-20 around town/24-26 on the highway w/3.73 gears/5 speed.

Conversion's been done for 10 years and 41k miles. Running stronger than ever.
