correct,, stock only with no goal of mods. just stock.

IF you're going to drop a boneyard motor into the bay, a twin cam mod is the way to go (EMS not included).

IMHO only, a co-worker has a 98 mustang GT with headers and dual exhaust. It sounds pleasantly different, though a bit whiney to my liking. It gets up and moves, though the take off from a stand still leaves a bit to desire. That first second it seems to have to force itself down the road, and then the rpms take over. However, I would still like one to put in a '53 Merc! As for the 5.0 stock, I think it isn't too bad in HO form, though the 5.0 efi in my 85 F150 leaves alot to be desired. Not exactly torquey, IMO. The real test would be to put both engines in the same type car with the same trans, gearing, etc... and see which one outperforms the other. If I had to put money on it, it would be the 4.6 by half a car length.
