just curious, but why a 5.0?

[emgjsdk1]

1+
why not a 4.6 2v
or a 4.6 32v even better

[Onemanzu]

Everything!! Ahh!!

[D-Brow]

i'm pretty much mechanically dumb, but i would think a 4.6L would be better, like one from the 99-04 range, plus i doubt yu'd have to change as much as you would goin with the 5.0...i could be mistaken though, like i said, not the engine expert here.

[emgjsdk1]

the 99-04 4.6 2v puts out more power than the 5.0L

[Onemanzu]

The 5.0 Bolts On To The K Member Better And Has A Cheaper Aftermarket But This Isn't Worth It Unless You Have A Donor Car!! Oh No!! Help Help I Lost The Search Button

the 03 - 04 cobra 32v puts out more than both

[emgjsdk1]

yea if you can find a termi engine
why not just buy the whole car

[emgjsdk1]

or even a 99-01 cobra engine
thats still some good power

or a 4V Mach1 engine?? ... either way, just get a GT ... the swap isn't worth it unless you have a GT that is fucked up in the ass and a donor chassis that has a blown drive train ... and you got both for less then a grand

yea definately...i mean sure a 5.o sounds good and all, but the newer engines are more efficient and just better, plus if you threw a cobra engine in your 6, no one would know what hit em, i man you could definately have a sleeper effect goin...

or you could debadge a Cobra...

the main reason the 5.0 is an easier block to swap in is cause it shares K members with the essex block

[emgjsdk1]

302 is just a number
it doesnt mean nothing when it comes to performance
a 4.6 99-04 gt will take a 94-95 5.0 gt
not only in rwhp but weight also

i was getting ready to say the same thing

[AnFking6908]

im new to the whole ford seen right now ive been a bowtie man all my life... just me n my friend built an 84 foxbody w/ a 5.0 double hump heads holly duuble pumper carb n a 600 lift cam that would pull the front wheels off the ground

[whitemustang02]

Main reasons fro going with a 5.0 over a 4.6
1 more potential
2 cheaper parts
3 you don’t need a new k member
4 you can get one cheaper then a 4.6

[emgjsdk1]

BUT
they are a little harder to find
WITH
not a to terrible amount of miles and in decent condition
you can find a 4.6 with moderate miles and in good condition no problem

[Orangester]

So how easy would it be to go to a carb'd 302?
I don't think many sixxers have made that swap.

[motorhead6776]

the swap it self wouldnt be that bad. getting it registered after would be near impossible. efi to carb swap dosent go over to well with the emissions people.
