Provided its in decent condition, anyone ever have/drove one before? Im looking for a little 5 speed 5.0 to rip around town in, anyone know if there a decent performer? They seem quick with 225HP on them, 300TQ. Just figured id get an idea.

All info. wanted!

 
Lots of people like them. Im not a ford fan...
The 4.6l > the 5.0l

this has been proven. Just get the next body style GT and add performance parts.
thats partly true. there is a HUGE aftermarket for both 4.6 and 5.0 (thanks to stangs)

4.6 is a modular motor, and the 5.0 is a push rod motor. 2 totally different deals

why not find a 4cyl version? way better on gas

the 5.0 was the best small block that ford produced. replacing it with the 4.6 was the worst thing they could have done.

the 4.6 less power, not to mention lower mpg

the 4.6 isnt a bad engine dont get me wrong but compared to the 5.0 is useless

 
yea im a big fan of fox bodies, thats prlly my favorite gen, 2nd comes the late 60s, followed closely by the newest body style. get an 06 and procharge it? my friend has got the 06, and will be getting 20grand to blow it next year.. thats the only reason i mentioned it, im assuming your wanting a budget buildup.

wat? The 4.6 clearly has more potential. The 5.0 will put down more low end torque, but overall the 4.6 is a better motor.
