5.0 or 4.6
I want an sn95 GT or Cobra to mod, but which engine responds better to mods

RE: 5.0 or 4.6
the 5.0's are easier and cheaper to work on, so if your lookin for easy quick results go w/ a 5.0
look at it this way, to change heads and cam in a 4.6, the motor has to come out of the car the 5.0 motor doesnt, so its just a matter of preference, and by all means the 4.6 is a good motor but you just have the know how and money to upgrade a 4.6 |

RE: 5.0 or 4.6
Which mags are those?
Maybe you misunderstood them loosening the motor mounts and jacking the engine up on each side to give them more clearance from the shock towers. EDIT: I spelled it loosing...bwahah |
RE: 5.0 or 4.6
4.6's accept boost far more efficiently than the 5.0. I say if you are going n/a, go the 5.0 route. If adding a power adder is in the car's future, I'd go the 4.6 route.

RE: 5.0 or 4.6
Well, quite a few people here have done Cam & Head swaps and sure as hell didn't have the pull the motor. I think you should look into that article again and make sure they didn't just loosen a motor mount and jack the engine up to give themselves more room between the head & shock tower.

RE: 5.0 or 4.6
the cams just lift right out, you dont pull them out, like a pushrod engine.
