4.6L 3v information wanted!

Ah I got ya. Yeah, when I read 5600 that seemed high, then I dug a bit and found it was a 4v motor. I honestly dont think its worth the money those motors are going for, especially when you consider the extra cost for aftermarket parts on top of that. Like you suggested I'm thinking the 4.6 3V 05+ motor. I believe 2k for an engine/trans combo is possible, thoughts? Reading around it seems like that with modest boost the 3v motors can see 500hp easily, while still being extremely streetable. If I were to go all out I wouldnt even be considering a mod motor, I'd go straight for an LS-series gm motor.
Another question. Do the transmissions of all 4.6L motors bolt up to any 4.6? I would be going with a manual transmission. Again, looking around it seems like there is difference between the 99-04 motors and the 05+ motors. Hopefully I can get an engine/trans combo, but who knows if I would be able to find one. Thanks for the info!

03-04 4Valve mach motors are aluminum block, not iron like there 03-04 cobra brothers. also i just purchased a bone stock 05 gt wiht 2000 miles on the ticker. my buddy has a 99 aluminum block cobra stock with jlt cold air kit. they run pretty dead on. the 4 valve heads are sick as far as air flow but my stock 3v has the varible cam timing which is nice. i don't know how an aftermarket wiring would address the cam timing. i like the ls idea but i personally could never put a bowtie in a ford. i think 2000 is way less than you can get a 3v motor for right now but thats just my .02. good luck!
