Default Should I trade in my 5.0?

... get a 96-98 Cobra? They're pretty cheap right now. Very tempting! But would it be worth it? I see them for about 5-7k

you can if you want man but i've always liked my 5.0
the dohc 4.6 is the only one i would trade my 5.0 for

re-phrase that, CONSIDER trading it for. even though i can work on the 4.6 and all this since i work at a dealership..... i love my 5.0 cause i can do it all for the most part right at home without alot of trouble

Theres 3 or 4 on LA Craigslist right now, I was just looking. Not my cup o tea though, I like to be able to work on my car, and have the engine live past 100k

I've worked on enough of those things I'll never own one. I don't like the power to dollar ratio on any modular motor car.
