Hey guys im sorry for this question i know theres alot newbs that come in here and ask it but i had a older mustang 5.0. right now i have a project honda (i know probably gettin flamed for that.) so im selling it for 5 gs and i want to get a mustang but not a old one. I want like a 94 up convertible. How does the 4.6 compare to the 5.0?? thanks you for the input

Depends what you're doing. I've had a 5.0 (95 GT) and 2 4.6's, One a 2v, and the other a 4v. Ive found the 4.6 is a better engine, the 5.0 has more available mods to it. And IMHO the 99-04 body is the best one out there :-p Sell the foxbody, and the ricer POS, and get a real car, like a Mach1 or a Cobra :-p

the 99up 4.6l and all the v4 4.6l cars are very suprising a littel costly to build but they are great engines this is my first one and it has suprised me. the 96-98 gt's are a littel lackign but nothign a head swap can't solve.

5.0 is cheaper and cheaper to mod. 4.6 is more expensive and more expensive to mod. 4.6 has more power stock and the 99-04 is imo the best looking stang they've made.

In my opinion the 5.0s are cheaper to mod and you can get more power out of them. I own a 99+ 2v. I would either say if you dont want the fox body style, go with a 94-95 5.0 or go with a 4.6 4V motor.
