^^ werd…i know there are alot of them…but the keyword is STOCK…but for me, its just 1 less part to break 
I base my opinions on experience, Ive owned 95 5.0 for quite a few years, and my 99 4.6 for a few years as well… and I would give up the 5.0 for the 4.6 anyday of the week…well…shit…i did!
aside from motor related opinions…the 99-04s look way better imo also.
