Get the 8 cylinder. It's the same engine in the Crown Vics, so you know it's reliable. You know what they say; a Crown Vic is a four door Mustang, and a 2 ton Mustang as well.

SN95 is really a heavily revised version of the Fox platform. This is why certain powertrain parts are interchangeable from '79-'04, as opposed to say, '87-'93 and so forth.
The 4.6 SOHC V8 has a lot in common with the engine used in the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis. You may know the CV from its roles as Police Interceptor and taxi... the engine can go 300K+ without major service. It's a very solid piece.
I've driven an '04 GT on numerous occasions, and it's precisely the reason I'm settled on a '99-'04 GT when my time comes.
