Nope.....it's a 5.0, guys down in Mexico.......heres another vid of the car on the dyno. Look at the description says it has TW heads. So I'm pretty sure it's a 5.0

looks the same to me, just shadowed. Also side emblems in first vid look like 94-95 emblems. I sent the guy a message, lets see if he answers.

The same screenname posted a video of the same car, and it showed 96-98 tail lamps. He could have converted.

Your right, they do not make trickflow heads for a 4.6.

The Magnaflows were throwing me off. Not to many 5.0L guys have those on them, and many 4.6Ls do.

Definitely a 5.0. It has trick flow heads, trick flow stage 2 cam, etc. All pushrod components. Too many 94-95 5.0 guys change their tail lights to 96-98 ones to judge just by that.
