Default Your opinion, 5.0 or 4.6?

I'm wondering what is your opinion on the 5.0 vs 4.6? (sound, quality, power, etc...) If I had the choice I would love to have the 5.0. but it's a 96'. 5.0 sound so much better!

5L for sound, opinion based.

4.6L for quality. Fact.

4.6L for stock power. Fact
5.L for aftermarket support.

I DEFINETLY do not think 4.6 sounds better than a 5.0..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY. But like you guys said... just an opinion Only mod motor I would buy is an 03-04 Cobra... besides that I give them [sm=smiley21.gif]Just not my cup of tea.

5.0 sounds better, responds better to mods.
4.6 is good stock
the only 4.6 engine I would want is a 96-98 cobra or a 03-04 cobra 4 valve.
With the 5.0 you can do so much more and see great gains. Most 2 valve 4.6's are just bolt ons. Because you dont see as much of a gain with heads and cam swap.After bolt ons the only mod the is realy worth the money is a supecharger.
