You wont be able to drive a 4.6 4v or a 5.0 everyday man, way too much power to keep on the streets, you're gonna need a single port 3.8 to do that.
On a serious note, we need some more details...do you want NA power? Are you able to do the motor swap/ fabrication your self?
What kinda budget and power are you looking for?
The 4v will probably be the way to go either way from a cost stand point since the coyote motor swap is $$$$$$

Forget the coyote swap, that will soak up almost that hole budget. with a 7,000$ budget, I say get a set of trick flow 2v heads, a built shortblock, and a supercharger. If you get a good deal on anyone of of the 3 items you should be able to squeeze it through in that budget.

Yea, pretty sure the coyote motor ALONE is like 7k lol.
I agree with this guy, do a built shortblock and some boost.
Trickflow heads are $$$ so you may be better off just doing some cams or something with the stock heads.
All depends on your pockets and how much power you really need but a built bottom end and a bit of boost on stock HCI can make more power than your NA build would ever do without some seriously extreme parts.

You could just buy a stock 4v and supercharge it.That would put you over 400 rwhp and still be under budget.You might be able to build a 4v and sc it for less than 7k unless the sc is brand new.I'm not sure you would want to drive it everyday though.
