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

You don't have to pull the motor to swap anything on the 4.6.

I feel bad for the dummy who pulls his engine to swap heads and cams in 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
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.
