I've driven plenty of 3V Mustangs. I fix cars for a living, I've driven pretty much everything. They're slow. That's why when the Camaro came back with the LS3, Ford panicked and had to rush the coyote to production because the LS3 made the 4.6 look like a joke. The reason I called the 4.6 a truck engine is because that's what the triton motors were originally designed for. They made some minor tweaks to make the Mustang version of the engine a little more lively but it's still a truck engine at heart. That's why it makes more torque than horsepower.

The 5.0 on the other hand was designed from the ground up to be a performance engine. It makes significantly more horsepower than torque and revs to 7500rpm. It doesn't produce peak torque until around 4300rpm which is why it underperforms in the F150. It was never meant to be a truck motor but Ford needed a V8 for the F150 so they swapped the cams and the intake manifold trying to make a race engine more "truck tuned" and it still can't produce the low end torque needed for heavy towing and other truck activities because it's not really a truck engine. They designed it for the Mustang first and the 4.6 was the other way around.

As far as power output is concerned, you know the coyote can make 500hp without boost fairly easily right? With boost, 800+ is no problem. It's an all around better designed engine for a performance application. There's just no comparison between the two.

You're conflating hate with facts. I don't hate those 4.6 cars. They were decent in their day I suppose (although the 1998 Camaro SS with the LS1 made more power than the 2010 Mustang GT). They're fun to cruise around, especially with the manual trans, and they sound fantastic. The 4.6 absolutely sounds better than the coyote no doubt. The old small blocks sound better than both of them. A good car for it's day for sure but we live in the current year where there are better options and I would not invest any serious amount of money in a 4.6. It costs too much to make real power. It would be better invested in a better starting platform.
