    difference between the 5.0 and the 5.0-HO

    THIS ARTICLE says "As delivered, the 5.0L H.O. engine installed in '87-'92 Mustangs was quite the little hot rod motor, with forged TRW pistons, a hydraulic-roller camshaft, and a double-roller timing chain--all stock" It also says you can make 400hp with the stock short block.

    4.6L transplanted into a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

    Didn't Backdraft's Cobra win Run & Gun this last time? It's a Cobra replica with BMW M suspension and a monster of a motor. Of course there is a car for everyone and every budget. You get what you pay for. I just want a step up on fit and finish, though the FFR #4323 for sale HERE looks really...

    4.6L transplanted into a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

    New member here, though I've read up on this forum over the past 2 weeks. Within 3 months I will be purchasing a Shelby Cobra replica and have many choices in engines (4.6L, 302, 351, 390FE, 427FE, etc...). The place that is selling me the Cobra recommended a 4.6L over the larger engines...
