it is 2v. the 5.0's in this section are pushrod. There are 4v OHC 5.0's tho

here is an ohc 5.0

here is a pushrod 5.0(mine)

ok thanks guys. Another quick question: So the Cobra is a 32 valve, is that far superior then to the 2 valve engine? Is that getting a lot more air to the cyclinders and improving the performance a lot?

96 up Cobras come with a 4.6 32 valve. I wouldn't say that it is far superior, just good engineering. Yes, 4v heads do flow better.

FWIW that 5.0 Cammer is still a 4.6l mod motor, its only has 5.0l of displacment (read: stroker)

Is that 5.0 a coyote engine that is going into the 2010 mustang ?

4v 04 cobra engines are superior

in my opinion...

I think all of the 4v 4.6's are superior, performance wise. Not so much in the cheaper/easy to work on field though imo.

Much more efficient for sure.
Even the 3V engines are very efficient.
The 93 Cobra 5.0 has 235hp. A new 3V 4.6L has 315hp.
Add 5lb of boost to a 3V 4.6 and gain a lt more power than putting 10psi on a stock 5.0.

2V = 2 valves per cylinder
3V = 3 "" ""
4V = 4 "" ""

The 5.0 has the camshaft in the block, the 4.6L engines have the cams in the heads.
2v and 3V 4.6 are SOHC (one cam per head) and the 4V is a DOHC (2 cams per head).

I hope this helps clarify the situation SEEW21.
