i dunno about that, the 4.6 is a pretty cheap motor to beef up too now. I do understand it doesn't take much to make power from a 302, but comparing power/torque ratings from the factory for a 4.6 2v with pi heads/cam/intake to a factory 5.0 with e7's there really isn't any question that there's a generous advantage to going with the modular.
