In my opinion I would go with the 5.0. 96 was the first year of the 4.6 so it is not the best year for that motor. Correct me if im wrong. Probably pick up a nice 94-95 for around 5-6 grand.

ummm... not really... Give the 4.6 the same time that the 5.0 has had and the 96-98's will have their day. Hell, an intake upgrade from livernois will put you at the same levels as a PI headswap w/ a better looking body (opinion of course)

I'd go with a 5.0 model as there are many more mods available and they are easier to work on than the overhead cam 4.6. also there is no replacement for displacement!

Never said they can't be helped, just basically that you if you get one your starting with a severe disadvantage.
True, but they can be had for a lot less $$$ than a newer GT, and you could spend the money saved on a PI head and intake swap and some other mods and walk all over the newer GT's (stock). I personally like the body style better, especially the '96-'98 Saleen models, than the newer body style. It's possible to come out way ahead with a '96-'98 GT for the same amount of money. Anyway, it's all about Mustangs though, and that's what's important.
