There's really no substitute for cubic inches. 4-valve heads with DOHC helps build power in the upper rpms in the 4.6. You have to be geared correctly to use that though. 350-400 CI OHV roller cam engines with good heads and valve train (GT-40X, TW, or AFR's) and decent headers will always win and cost less too.

I'm speaking genericly here. Not really thinking of late model GT's or Cobras for engine swaps. More like classics and Fox bodies for this.

I know that this was not the original thought in this topic. Still, it pertains.
