[QUOTE="H D, post: 979155, member: 68494"] The 5.0 is legendary. The 4.6 is a good engine Ford has used. I have a 351W in my '69 Cougar. A good build can get over 600 hp naturally aspirated for around $14k. A crate Boss will cost roughly the same. I could park my 600 hp 351 car next to an identical bodied car with a Boss 302 producing 450 hp and guess which one is going to get more attention at a car show. It's still not a Boss 302, and I'm ok with that. I'm not trying to say anything negative about the 4.6, or the logical reasons to build one or the other. I'm just saying the 5.0 holds a special place in the automotive world. It produces excitement where the 4.6 would get walked by with a shrug and nod of approval. It doesn't have to make sense, dollar-wise or power-wise; it's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
