that's a broad/ignorant question. I don't mean to be rude or a doushe, but there's soooo many differences and things to consider....

The 5.0 is cheaper to mod and easier to work on that's for sure. Stock for stock a 5.0 and a non-PI 4.6 are about even in power.

LOL that's what I meant.

If you can afford a PI 4.6 (99-04) then do that. Basic bolt ons like exhaust, gears and maybe a shot of giggle gas will be fun.

If you can't afford that, get a 5.0 SN95 (94-95). You can find one for cheap and they are easy to mod and look better than the 99-04's IMO. Gears, Intake, heads, cams, exhaust can be had for relativley cheap vs. 96-04 mods...

^ non-pi 4.6's are cheaper and more comparable to the 5.0's.
