But the fox's were my era, I was used to them, that was before you can google how to do stuff on them. Now having a mod motor, its out of my comfort zon although there are many resources around for tips and guides.
For me it depends on the car. I learned on pushrods and carbs. But I like my 4V. You just need to learn the steps for things then it gets easier to work on.
So for a classic or Foxbody pushrods. For my Cobra the 4V.
That fact that the blocks start splitting on the 5.0s under 500hp is what originally turned me away from them. If I had started with a 5.0 and put as much money in a sbf as I have the 4.6 I would have a nasty little motor though.
