Default 347 crate motor

I had a oil pump go out in my 302, and managed to ruin that motor.
My question is has anyone used the 347 crate motor from Ford Racing Performance? The specs on this engine look very impressive, 450hp, 400 ft lb torque. Z304 aluminum cylinder heads [supposed to be better than GT-40 heads] hydraulic roller cam etc. Ford has a disclaimer on the spec sheet that says " not recomended for use in daily drivers" I will not be using it as a daily driver, but I want to be able to depend on it.
Has anyone out there used this motor? How many miles, any problems, how about performance? This may sound stupid but how does it sound? Anything I need to know that you can think of?
Thanks
P.S. This will go in my FFR.
