both are about the same in performance but if you get the 4.6 with a the pi setup you will like it a lot better then the sn95 5.0

95 hand down over a 98...and you cant do so much for so little to them just like foxes....and still keep it daily driven...

grab a cheap 95'.. throw an H/C/I and an S-trim on it...and it'd be an awesome daily driver and still smog legal...

i might be biased but 94-95 is far better than a 96-98 for the money. almost everything is cheaper and interchangeable to the fox. goodluck making real power with those non pi motors without some kind of power adder.

94-95 is just easier and cheaper to work on. both are also about the same as far as reliability.

I beat h/c/i 5.0 all the time in my stang with a pi swap n a small cam. The compression goes up when you use a 98 GT shortblock with 04 gt heads so its actually faster then a 04 Gt without a cam. They both got pro n con but definitely a 5.0 is cheaper to built.

what kind of heads on the 5.0's do you beat?

Not hard to beat a 260-275rwhp pi swapped 4.6 with a 5.0 that has a decent selection of parts that work well together.

Gt40,gt40p ect. I have cams with a pi swap and it makes well more than 260-275 HP.

A TW or AFR one is going to walk you considering they are typically over 300RW...

For daily driveability I'd go with the 98. I have a 5.0 and have friends with a lot of 5.0s and everyone says the 94-95 motors aren't really that good. From what I've read on the board there's not a lot of issues with the 96-98 modulars. Good luck!

The point was why not look for a 97/98 cobra. Bang for the buck wise you aren't going to do much better. Price difference in good condition GT and Cobra is going to be relatively close. Do your homework.

Got A 96 With 184xxx Race Miles Lol Still Taking A Beating And Still Running Strong Haha

Very simple...

1.) 96-98 DOHC
2.) 94-95 Cobra
3.) 94-95GT
4.) 96-98GT

In that order...

if you are on a budget get a 94/95 GT bro.. heres why:
-Don't waste money on a 94/95 cobra because to be honest they are no different than whack gt40 heads and intake. (You can change them out for aftermarket pieces with the money you save by purchasing a GT instead and be faster thand a 94/95 Cobra)
- A 96-98 GT is very slow bro and to make them fast takes more than a PI swap when it comes down to N/A.. Unless you have some ported heads/cams than you are just a stock motor 99-04 GT which is still slow (A well put together 5.0 will stomp on a PI Swapped 96-98GT)
- A 96-98 DOHC Cobra is cool but don't forget they too are slow... to build a 4V cost a lot more than any of the other options...
