4.6vs5.0

[USA_Ownz]

Which is better from the 1994-1995 cobra 5.0 or the 1996+ 4.6? Sorry if this question has been asked before.

It all depends. I would say the Cobra 5.0 would be better if you break the 96+ down to 96-98 4.6L's. But the 99+ 4.6 would be better then the 94/95 Cobra 5.0 motor.

So you can get a 4.6L of the 1999+ faster, than you would with a 1994-1995 cobra?

I'm not exactly sure what the question is...

[USA_Ownz]

Basically, which engine is better for modification, can be both powerful and a daily driver, and can modded to a speed demon.

is that dave chappelle in your avatar??

im pretty sure the aftermarket for both of these engines are the same, but from what i understand the 5.0 is a beast, but if you were to get a 4.6 it would have less miles on it so you wouldnt have to worry about that.

It will really come down to personal preference. Stock for stock, I would take the 99+. If I were to have a project to build up, I would take the Cobra with the 302.

Both can be made fast, just depends on what you want to do, and how you want to do it.

[USA_Ownz]

Yeah because I want to undergo a project. It would be better to go with the 302, right??
BTW, it is Dave Chappelle.

If you want a project to get your hands dirty with, do the Cobra. You can build a very stout motor very easy!

302, right??

302=4.9 which is rounded to 5.0, so yea.

Either 4.6 DOHC Cobra motors are boost monsters.

I would get a 4.6 just cause the mods are beginning to be awesome for them.......the best so far is the NoS Nozzle system that is direct poported to your injectors and can give you stock motor gains of 120hp. With engine mods you will get 150-200hp with it and with a supercharger..............your looking at 600-1000- hp.
I have a 98 gt that is getting a "new" 4.6 bored alum motor, so I am stickin with the 4.6. But for me, I am not at all stock.
If I got a 5.0, It would be a brand spankin new block with 0 miles so I knew I wasn't getting a shoddy motor and used at that. But thats me.

pssssh, nos?!? What I would realy wana know is which motor, year specific, can be n/a tuned the best, and then you can consider nozzling and supering. IMO, the current generation 4.6 is probably your best choice, although the old school engines are the best but they are hard to find.
