5.0 vs 4.6 what faster stock both 5 speed 95vs96

Oh, and back to the topic, the 1994-1995 5.0L will smoke the 1996-1998 4.6L SOHC GT's stock for stock. You can definately make the older GT's fast with 99 GT top end parts and an inexpensive Bullitt intake, but the 5.0 has a huge aftermarket as well.

This topic is pretty old. The 5.0L WILL fade. Ford has virtually assured this of happening with the lack of aftermarket street blocks. The R302 cannot be used for anything but track duty, and there are no other 302 blocks in production that I know of. The new GT's will outrun most stock 5.0's and they respond very favorably to forced induction. I think the 4.6L's future is very much in question. With the Crown Vic, Thunderbird, Mark series, RWD Town Car's, RWD Cougar's, Grand Marquis, and the use of the 4.6L being questioned in the future Mustangs, Ford will most likely kill production. The new 5.0L they are talking about is basically the equivelent of the 289 vs the 302, so it's up to you on whether you want to disillusion yourselfs into believing the 5.0L is somehow making a comeback. Let's get real here. The real 5.0, the 302 will never again be produced. Ford even scrapped the tooling for it. Quite frankly, I find it disrepectful that they would even think about re-using the 5.0 as a totally different engine. The 302 was probably one of the best engines Ford has ever built. It's longevity and versitility are hard to argue with.
