junk the 4.6

[Red Rocket]

THe 4.6 SOHC is a little weak when it comes to grunt, but the DOHC ain't too bad. I admit the 351W or 351C are pretty stout engines and have a lot of torque and hp. They are definitely nothing to toy around with. But, like the SOHC engine, but it's all about perspective. The SOHC wasn't built with the same intentions the 351's were, straight line racing and big compression. The DOHC was, and it also happens to be way more efficient than the 351's.

And I don't know if you've been behind the wheel of a slightly modified Cobra or even the newer 4.6 SOHC's like the 99's or '00's, but those cars all run real strong and with a little help and a manual tranny, the older SOHC can run pretty strong, too.
