What made u buy a 5.0

[215what]

just wanna see why people choose 5.0 over 4.6. i got the 5.0 cause it's just A bad a$$ engine the 4.6 is to small that's what i think. Tell me why you have 5.0 and not 4.6?

cheaper to mod

Cubes. 302 > 289

Cubes. 302 > 289

I thought it was 281

 

[94gts]

well the old motor (the 4.7 ) was a 289

I agree with super...cheap to mod. We already have such a good base to build off of. the hot modulars get boost, but we can get there N/A easier than the mod boys can. I got mine cause I wanted a musclecar but didn't want to put up with a pos 30+ year old car. our years are a good compromise between old muscle and modern motoring.

 

[grrrrrrr]

Cheap mods... couldn't afford a 99+ 4.6...

 

[95WhiteVenom]

Because the 4.6 lacks the bottom end grunt we call torque. Aftermarket is cheap! Also last but not least I couldn't afford a 96-98 cobra in as good of condition as my 95 cobra.

 

[95riosnake]

more torque where it needs to be, cheaper way to go fast, cheaper to repair, SOUND WAY BETTER, better taillights

The 4.6 is a 281.

I had to have a 5.0 after going for a ride in H.S in one w/ some kid that had a 5.0 fox.

I don't know, I was 17 when I said I wanted one. Now I know why subconciously I wanted one, because they are BADASS.

My next car was either going to be another old muscle mopar (first car was a 72 Duster 340 c.i.d) or a new 5.0. Well I choose a 5.0 because there was no other decent mopar near me to build, and they are pretty cheap to build and sound kick ass.

 

[JJ95GTID]

I wanted something I could drive daily and be somewhat inexpensive to mod. I also wanted a 94 stang the first time I saw it. So, a no brainer for me to get one when I could.

When I bought my car in 1995 I test drove the new 4.6 2V and they sucked a$$. Not to mention at the time there were NO mods available for the 4.6's. I test drove a 1996 Cobra and loved it, but it was almost 30K. Got My 95.0L for 16.5K new on Dec. 22, 1995 Ford was REALLY pushing the new 4.6's and were looking to unload the 5.0's.

 

[94gts]

for years i wanted a v10 dodge ram

then all of a sudden i wanted a 5.0(was looking for a fox cause they were cheaper). looked for a year before my parents "allowed" me to buy one(i bought the car myself but they wouldnt allow me to buy anything without their permission ) then i found mine and went dam, i gotta have that. and now i do .

The sound, cheaper to mod, and I already have some years of experience working on pushrod windsor and FE engines.

 

[Caldwell]

I used to own a fox body, '92
and then i wanted a 94-98 body style
the '94 fell in my lap.

 

[RedStallion43]

the '94 fell in my lap.

ouch that must of hurt,
I went with the 5.0 cuz I wanted to see what all the hype was about.

i will never walk the same way again.
was the 5.0 hype all that it seemed it was?

 

[RedStallion43]

Well kinda, I have never driven a 4.6 so I have nothing to compare it too besides my dads corvette that I have driven wich is a 5.7 and the pickup truck I drove b4 the stang wich was a 5.2. So I guess I bought it really cuz I still wanted to drive a 5. sumthin engine but I am definately happy with the 5.0
