The legend of the 5.0 will never die.

25k for the LX
40k for the GT
50k for the Cobra

not so badass anymore

But the LS1 uses 1 cam and 16 valves. It's lighter and physically smaller. It also makes 350hp whereas the 9 yr newer 3v makes 300. It can be stroked to 427+ cubes. They make a ton more HP in N/A form. They're easier to work on. They have more aftermarket parts. BTW, it's a 65 cube difference

I've beaten too many LS1's at the track to have any respect for them, I dunno, just me. But, my capri is always laughed at, the ugly duckling wannabe mustang....lol, it's sooo much fun smoking everyone with it, it's sooo light, and, just flies...and with a stock 5.0 bottom end to boot. Against my '99.....god it feels like a nasty beast, but, I appreciate being able to stop and turn in the '99, so, I guess it makes up for it

Yep even then.. what was base for a 4.6L? 210?

so that equates to 1.33hp/cuin for the 4.6L and the LS1 was in the 305 range wasnt it? 1.13 for them.


:SNSign:

actually 66 347-281

and when did they make 350 stock?

Tryin to ruin a man's dream?

1998 GTs had 225bhp

Yeah but my math was off.. i musta been high lol

here are the correct numbers


4.6L .92HP per CUin.

LS1 .87HP per CUin.


I had the numbers inverted on the last post

and the 98 4.6L would be a loser once again with .80.... I stand corrected

LS1 is 346ci and a 6-speed puts down 295-310rwhp on average. That would equate to about 350 flywheel HP.
