the 5.0 was available through 1995. the 5.0 will most likely be cheaper to mod, and as for them not liking high rpm's, in stock form the engines don't do much past 5 or 5500, but when modded i think there's some people in here who would attest to them revving quite happily when modded right.

5.0's make lots of torque at low rpm. mod's dont (from my experience riding in my bud's 98GT - seemed kinda gutless till he wound it up).

i would go drive one of each. decide what you can afford and if you want to mod it (pushrod motor is cheaper for that, IMHO) and do from there.

good luck.

Get a 99+ 4.6...for a daily driver...they run high 13's stock w/ 5spd @ 99-101mph...

The 4.6 just has a deceiving powerband...even though it produces peak torque 100rpm higher than the 5.0...so there is no real actual difference...
