HI the 5.0 runs a low compresion 3.9 piston and top and tailed so to speak the top is machined down and so is the bottom for clearence on the crank, the bore is the same but the 4.6 runs a 82 mm crank and 5 litre runs a 90 mm crank the rods in the 4,6 are 6 inch long and the 5.0ltr are 5.5 inch {crap design personaly!}
