It's funny reading comments some guys out there will find any reason to say an old 5.0 engine in better lol what year did Ford design the old 5.0? Yea time for the newer powerplant I'd say!!! Nice setup
Swap to a 99-01 K-member (elongate rear bolt holes) and the motor drops right in. You need to fabricate a tranny mount and get a wiring harness from a 99-01 cobra or Mach 1 plus computer

converting to 5 lug is actually cheap and easy. sn-95 spindles and brakes and two left side (could be the right side, but i cant remember) axle shafts from an 80s ranger. remember the drums too unless you convert to disc. the whole point of 5 lug swaps are for wheel options and brake options. there isnt a whole lot of aftermarket setups for 4 lug brakes. 5 lug has MUCH better options.
Just came across your vid 91notch and i have to give you some major props on a very sweet ride. That monster mod install is one of the cleanest i've seen, looks factory. GREAT WORK !!!
No Replacement for Displacement and were talking about a 281 vs 345.7 and a stock 5.0 block is only to about 500 before it cracks depends how bad you beat on it
A friend of mine has a stock 5.0 with an HP turbo kit on it and of course an upgraded fuel supply with some badass heads that is pushing well over 600 at the wheel through an automatic transmission. So don't call bullshit just because you have never seen one. Youtube HED Turbo and watch him run a 6.17 in an 1/8th mile track. He has run 8s in a 1/4.
the 4.6 is DOHC, which means it has more power than its predecessor 5.0L OHV V8. its smaller by 22 ci [281 vs 302]yes and 40 lbs lighter yes but packs a greater punch than the 5.0 will ever do
just because its 22ci bigger does not overall mean its a better engine epically if its out of an newer stang when the started with the aluminum blocks
And a 4.6 like mine can handle 700 hp easy, hence I dropped the Eaton off my 2003 Cobra and put on a 2.6 Kenne Bell @ 20 psi with a CAI, exhaust, and tune. STOCK MOTOR running 595 rwhp with the stock IRS. The fox body could NEVER do that without major work. Plain and simple.
Ford went with the 4.6 for a reason. The 5.0's are sick, but the 4.6 is faster and more efficient.
sorry bro but just wait n see was gonna happen to your block.if the 4.6 can handle 700 hp they wouldnt drop a 5.4 on a cobra they could have save money and just use 4.6.plus parts r more expensive for the 4.6 and the exhaust sound dont compare to 5.0 or 5.4 this is only my opinion what i think about this not meant to say im a pro because im not and i dont know everything .peace
Look on youtube. There are LOTS of Terminators like mine. They came with a forged crank, rods, and flat top pistons for low compression (forced induction). They were designed for that power from the factory, not to mention my rear end and tranny are still stock and fine.
The 5.0 sounds very much like the 4.6, but its your opinion which is better. I personally prefer the 4.6 sound.
actually a 5.0 can handle 500 hp but u take the chance of spliting the block at that power. happened to my friend, but the stock 2v blocks can handle 700hp supposently without worring about that. not to mention the 4v teskid blocks are one of the strongest aluminium blocks ever. plus how can u say that a stock 5.0 is a better motor than the terminator motors. i love the 5.0s but get your shit straight dude
Yeah true, but with that being said the Cobra motor 4.6s handle well over 1000 hp easy STOCK. Other than supporting fuel mods of course. I love 5.0s but also love the capability of the new 4.6s. I just love Ford in general
humm makes me think about the LS1 swap a little less. i'd like a DOHC project. the configure will be better in a few years when prices come done on mods. not eveyone can play in that ballpark. i like 5.0 but the over head valves are just to superior in technology. come on 5.0 *OHC!! how about an LS* DOHC man talk about some power potential.
@91notch46 If you like extra work and don't mind spending a couple extra bucks modulars are great, but I can see why some people like to stick with the push rod.
@kingcobra101z very true. I personally like working on pushrods better because they are infinitely simpler. @91notch46 I personally like the SOHC 4.6 because to me adding two more cams seems less efficient.
DOHC are proper for sports cars. It's really pointless to have a new 2008 mustang.. calling it a sports car when it only offers SOHC and has less power then with DOHC.
Nice mutstang, great color, LOVE the rims nice choice.. as well supoercharger sounds sexi
Id say a Mustang and Camaro are muscle cars and a vette/ Ford GT are Sports cars...the new gts have 300 hp but they are too damn heavy..ford screwed up again..dont get me wrong they can look sweet and are quick with the factory 3 link now..the 3valve heads do offer close to the same flow as 4valve heads..but nothing beats having 32 valves!

I dont get it ... I´ve heared those 4.6 modular engines are "too wide" for Fox Bodys tho I´ve seen a mio vids about modular fox bodys.
do you have any overheating- or any other issues with this modular 4.6 + fox body combination ?
I´ve heared about a 4.6 modular based engine named "Aluminator" developing 700Bhp in pump gas
imagine a 700Bhp 4.6 in a light Fox Body Mustang. it would run low 10´s on street tires easily - also with a average manual transmission.
