I can say that I have yet to ride in a 4.6 2V mustang and be impressed. I think that given the same HP levels, the fox would win, cause it's lighter and has a better torque curve. The2v 4.6 is just plain weak on torque. Now, I like the 5.4 that I have in my truck, much more bottom end then my mustang.

if u have the cash get a 03-04 cobra saleen mach 1 or roucsh..... proferably cobra but its all good... the stock blocks have been pushed too 100hp well many miles on them and have withstanded the beating.... to do that u have to factor in a new block cost for a 5.0.... its pros and cons to both... the look different different displacement... different technology build them.... u cant compair... u can go ethier way and do good or bad... take into account the looks... which u like better.... also what kind of plans u have... what u can do yourself and what u can.... come up with want u ant hp wish or ETA wish.... do u want something cheap that is a drag only or do u want a nice street car.... u have to ask youself tons of questions to come up with whats best for you... we can help but u have to decide on you own we can only tell u how things work for each

yea but it will cost u 2k pulls a top end for it and a new tranny.... so a T-56 swap is 3.5k new block 2k and a h/c/i is at least 2k so thats 7.5k(rough estimate) to get a nice building block for big hp numbers.... not to metion everything else is 12 years or older... so u want crazy power on a street car and u have the cash id get a new terminator in good shape for 20k its a nice place to start.... if u dont have cash and wants street car get a 94-95 gt on up its cheaper but u wont get as much power unless u put mroe money into it later on... if u dont want a street car and wat a cheap track car fox its the best and really the only way to go if u want cheap... they will be more work tho cuz there older and a lotta ppl dont take care of hte mustangs like they should.... like i said its all on what u want... and we dont know what u want only u do
