4.6 was such a short run that unless a termi makes in it, you will never see those in a museum...

lmao, it was a joke scott but that being said, if it weren't for the 4.6, we wouldn't have a 412hp 5.0 OHC motor. we'd still be in the prehistoric era lmao

Well mr wizard did you consider that the EXACT same thing could be said for any motor ford has made? They learned something from each motor. For example they realized that the 4.6 causes your testicles to shrink, which means you must them overcompensate by hating anything other then small nuts?

5.0 = big balls no matter pushrod or not :)

Got to drive mine home for the first test of the brakes today! It definitely is stronger braking! Nice firm/solid pedal I love the positive sure feeling the Bullitt/Cobra brakes give me now. Did not have a chance to bed the brakes in yet (tomorrow) let you know more soon. I also installed all new OEM distributor & advanced the timing a few degrees...either the new settings & pip are giving me a boost or it's my lack of seat time in the stang but it seems to start better & feels snappier & pulls harder through the gears! LOL...my mechanic test drove it a bit & came back to say it sure is a fun car to drive! He got 2 girls to holler at him for a ride & one challenge to race from a HONDA!...and one thumbs up.

While we're on the subject of brakes here.. Where's a good place to get bleeder screw for the front and back? I can't find any like the stockers :(

I'd highly recommend speed bleeders. one person brake bleeder system. It's the most useful thing I think I've ever bought lol.

Speed bleeders are cool and all... but expensive for a car i'm trying to sell lol. I can't seem to find any bleeder screws that work for the rear! I know the thread are supposed to 3/8-24, but all the ones I find have different tips, and I think that's why they aren't working.... I stripped out one caliper already.
