i maybe wrong but I thought the mustang ran the 4.6 I had 2 F150s with that motor and it ran for like ever 300,000+ miles still getting abused and never broke

4.7 4.6 same difference, I don't like em

I've never seen one built to be anything nice, only the 5.0

I dont the reliability though because it was the f150 motor originally

i had a buddy who had a mustang running a 13 with very little work done to it, but I personally would prefer the 5.0 too if I'm building it, but for just a daily I wouldn't see anything wrong with the 4.6

2 valve per cylinder 4.6's are a joke. 3 valve per cylinder 4.6's like this one are meh. 4 valve per cylinder 4.6's with factory superchargers (03/04 cobra) are not a joke. Overly complex and expensive, yes. But they also make 700whp with a blower swap.

How hard is it to insure a salvaged title car?

As hard as a clean title
