While Ford fans may argue the point, the GM LS engine family does have an advantage over the mod motor when it comes to power production, especially compared with the 4.6L two-valve. Designed as a replacement for the now-legendary 5.0L pushrod small-block, Ford’s 4.6L SOHC motor traded displacement for technology (or complexity, depending on your perspective). Unfortunately, the original 4.6L two-valve provided neither the torque of the original 5.0L nor the high-rpm power promised by the overhead-cam configuration. Ford eventually stepped up the performance of the two-valve when it introduced the Power Improved (PI) version in 1999, but a gain of 35 hp in 12 years could hardly be considered revolutionary, especially when GM was offering 5.7L combinations with nearly 100 more horsepower.
