[SLOW 97]

The 4.6 is more of higher revving engine as opposed to the pushrod 5.0. Also, they way people modify the engines is different. On the 4.6, basically everyone uses a supercharger because they respond exceptionally well to boost. Not as many people try to build naturally aspirated engines as they do with the 5.0. Parts are a little more for the 4.6 and they are harder to work on. The 4.6 is just now starting to have a large aftermarket. Slowly but surely it's coming along. The 5.0 engine family is pretty much obsolete now and the emphasis has shifted to the ne modular engines. Basically everything 95mustanggt said is correct.
