The 4.6 was offered in the 94 and 95 lincolns...but they waited until 96 to put it in the mustang.

RE: 5.0 vs 4.6
WELL i have to believe that ford would know whats best... i watched the discovery channel and they were given the go ahead to make an 05 mustang into a straight up race car. they scrapped th 4.6 engine and built a bad *** 5.0. i believe as does ford racing that the 5 liter is definately a better engine. the 4.6 is a healthy alternative designed to meet the ever growing concern for emission control and such.

RE: 5.0 vs 4.6
the only advantage the 4.6 mustangs would have is that ford started using stronger transmissions but give them both tremec and 3.73's i know the 5.0 would win

Tell that to Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subraru....

The MACH 1 has the normally aspirated 4.6 and some have been know to run 12's completely stock with slicks..

RE: 5.0 vs 4.6
4.6 can handle more power.... Eqaully modded + supercharger = 4.6 wins b/c it starts w/ more hp. Not to mention power loss b/c of age, etc...
P.S. I have beaten 3 5.0's and lost to 2 of them (modded) w/ my non-pi car.... All close races, but I never "got my *** handed to me"
P.S. THis is in the wrong place if you expect to get a balanced opinion.

RE: 5.0 vs 4.6
How can you compare japanese cars running forced induction to a N/A engine in regards to displacement? of course a turbo will get an engine half the size to run alright. But in regards to the ford racing car? was that a push rod 5.0? or just a 4.6 stroked to 5? As much as I love my 5.0 i have to say that an engine can flow alot better with 4 valves, so its a hard call. I think in the long run, with enough mods, the 5.0 will easily win though just due to displacement.
