5.0 or 4.6

Hunt_chevs · August 30th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Ok, heres the scoop. Previous to my '88, i owned a '99. I will be getting rid of the fox soon, and i want some opinions on whether to go with another modular, or another fox. My plans are for the 500-600 hp range achieving this this via turbos i believe, on a somewhat built motor.

Hunt_chevs · August 30th, 2008, 05:54 PM

03TropicGt · August 30th, 2008, 05:55 PM

damn man you dropped some serious cash into your ride.

silver99gt · August 30th, 2008, 06:37 PM

btw i voted 5.0, im trying to get out of my 99 and get a 94-95 cobra. Like said earlier the 5.0s are cheaper.

White99stang · August 30th, 2008, 07:13 PM

why not do the best of both worlds, do a 5.0 modular lol.

thewayshemoves · August 31st, 2008, 05:28 AM

how complicated would it be to do a 5.0 swap into a 99-04 body? I don't mean making the 281 a 302, I mean actually swapping a pushrod into it.

lilmarc1988 · August 31st, 2008, 10:20 AM

cant you bora and stroke the 281, to a 302? that dont seem hard, but then again, im not an engine builder

lilmarc1988 · August 31st, 2008, 10:20 AM

nvm i read the 2nd part of your post, my bad

SWEET2KSTANG · August 31st, 2008, 10:41 AM

how high you want to rev it? if you plan on high revs all the time, then stay 4.6. if you want a stoplight monster, go to a stroker. the 4.6 makes a lot of torque as it is, a stroker will just add more on top of that.

01brknGT · August 31st, 2008, 04:33 PM

i would go 5.0 i had a 95gt before this 01gt and its was a lot cheaper to mod and more reliable.

Scott2001GT · August 31st, 2008, 07:16 PM

5.0 is cheaper. but pushrods is heaveir and less dependable imo. are you considering a 03-04 Cobra or Mach1? thats is your DOHC and 32 valve. or go with a 01 Cobra. but a 16v SOHC will do work! with all thouhs mods i would think you would run a better than 12.4? but badass

Scott2001GT · August 31st, 2008, 07:17 PM

WhiteStang said that shit lol

Scott2001GT · August 31st, 2008, 07:18 PM

5.0 cammer bro

Modified88Dreamer · August 31st, 2008, 07:22 PM

For a minute I thought I was experiencing Deja Vu! I remembered voted in the poll and saw this thread showing that I didn't vote yet lol

Hunt_chevs · September 1st, 2008, 02:08 PM

5.0 would be cheaper, but what are the pro's and cons of these motors? as in, what would be a better platform?

product1620 · September 1st, 2008, 11:28 PM

Modular blocks seem to be stronger then 302s, and it seems everyone and the brother either has a modded 5.0 or knows someone with one, its not every day that you see a nicly built 4.6. You could say im a little biased, but Ive driven both, and even though I like all stangs I just prefer the mod motors, the sound, the feel, I just really enjoy my modular.
