PI is performance improved which is the heads and intake the 99+ 4.6s have. 96 and 97 gts have 215hp and 98s have 225, the PI 99+ gt's have 260hp. So if you can go with the cobra or a 99 and up GT, youll be happy you did.

well bein a 302 guy you know that its hard to walk to your mailbox without tripping on a cam or heads for it, the 5.0 is alot cheaper to build up quick and easier to work on, im in the process of finding a 94-95 to build up, not gonna put in a ton of money into this 4.6, just not worth it,

I would either get a fox 5.0 or a new edge.. i'd stay away from those non pi engines like the plague. If you can find a good 01' Cobra i'd go that route, and you can find em. If not, I was always a sucker for the 93' Cobra.
