It already has, to a point. The Mustangs fielded in the Grand American Racing are 5.0 Cammers.

I dont really like this 4.6 liter motor to tell you the truth, never have. I still dont understand why they stopped it, it was like there trademark motor. Who doesnt know to raise an eyebrow when you say "5.0 mustang"? does it work with 5.0 camaro or fire bird? no then you sound weird. No 4.6 liter will ever touch a 5.0 thats modded out the same way, the amount of moving parts is increadlbly diffrent in terms of numbers of. The sound of a 4.6 is defnitaly v-8 and when modded out is always impressive, but again the sound of a 5.0 modded is just disgusting and scary, any import i met at a stop light will tell you that and im stock right now. 4.6s are just to expensive to mod out as well, seeing as how parts havent been made since the dinosaurs like the 5.0s parts. a set of heads on a 5.0 will run you good, but for the 4.6 itll run you dead. I wish they just kept the 5.0 in the cobra and the 4.6 in the gt. Wouldve made it more offical in my opinion.

The stock 5.0's are overrated IMO... 220 hp's. The foxbody is a good body to build a drag car but the stock motor isnt very quick.


If they kept the 5.0 in the cobra... and a 4.6 with with pp heads in the gt's... not the cardboard ones ford decided to use in mid 90's.... the cobra is going to be slower... doesnt make much sense.

5.0= 225hp 4.6=260hp More hp out of a smaller motor. No wonder it sounds good!!

Thats true ill give you more horses smaller motor is a good thing... but for years like one person said 5.0 stated mustang . end of story you said a 5.0 V-8 everyone assumed you were tlaking about a mustang..... 4.6 just doesnt have the same ring lol. i like old school though

I agree about the 5.0 being a bit weak on power, but the 4.6 is the newer engine.

I just remember the day I came across one the thearlier 4.6's and tried to race it...and lost...I wasn't very happy. I expected something different.

the late 80's and early 90's were a different time...until the lt1 f bodies came along, the 5.0's were pretty badass. i can guarantee that if the 5.0 was around today it would be AT LEAST like the old cobras with the better intake, heads, and roller rockers.
