The 4.6 is a very strong engine. It has nice pull through all the revs and has a great exhaust note. Having just replaced the spark plugs on the 4.6, I can say that the design is a little cumbersome to extract the plugs in one piece, and mostly requires a special tool. The 5.0 is a low range torque beast. It also pulls through all the revs, but the low end packs a much bigger punch than the rest of the power delivery. The car's have different differential ratios, and different transmissions, which are contributing to the different power deliveries. My 5.0 has a 6speed MT-82 and 3:73 diff. The 4.6 has a 5speed Tremec and 3:55 diff. I haven't had to do any mechanical maintenance on the 5.0 to compared difficulty. Both cars have nearly straight piped exhausts, as well, and the 5.0 is ridiculously loud while the 4.6 is moderately loud with a deep tone. If I could only pick one engine, I would choose the 5.0, but I really like both, a lot.

How do you like the 4.6l vs the 5.0?
