Default 5.0 87, Or 4.6 03?

This is my first post, so bear with me.

I have 2 mustangs, and i have to decide which one to build up. I need some help.

i have an older stock 87 gt that is a bit used, but good enough condition to drive. and i have a brand new 03 gt. If i can only afford to supify one, which one will be better, based on price, performance, speed, availibility of parts, and just plain looks. which will be better in the LONG run???

I would just appretiate some friendly advice... thanks guys

I would do the simple things to make the 03 a bit more fun but turn the old beast into a Monster. The 5.0 parts are soooo much cheaper and so much easier to work on. If it was me I would spend 80% of budget on 5.0 and 20% on 03. The 03 is already pretty fine!
