4.6 is a lot wider than a 5.0. Anything's possible with enough $'s, but your better off modding the 5.0 for more power. 5.0's are cheaper to mod

Plus the 5.0 responds better. Whats wrong with your 5.0?? I would modd a 5.0 and put it in my car before I put a 4.6 in a car that came with a 5.0

RE: 4.6 to 5.0

5.0's costed nuttin to mod, and the computer didnt freak out over the simplest mods... unlike the 4.6 you install a shift **** and your car idles at 4k.... but absolutly nutting is interchangable like greystang only sn95 bodyparts till the 98 models.

5.0's are cheap to mod to 250rwhp...

The 4.6 isn't anywhere near as finicky as BlackMustang94GT is making it out to be.
