For the 1996 model year, Ford retired the aging 302 cu in (4.9 L) 5.0 V8 in the Mustang GT and SVT Cobra, with a new aluminum 4.6 L DOHC modular unit that was smoother and had slightly better fuel economy.[1]:?36, 38? Starting with the 1996 model year, every Cobra engine was hand-assembled by two-person teams at the Ford Romeo Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan, a practice that continued through the remainder of SVT Cobra production.[1]:?37? Each engine had a label (later, a metal plaque on the 2003–2004 Cobra engines) bearing the names and signatures of the two engine builders.[7]:?288? The Romeo engine,[1]:?38? as it was called, produced 305 hp (227 kW) and 300 lb·ft (410 N·m) of torque, enabling the new Cobra to go 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds and do the quarter mile in 13.99 seconds at 101.6 mph.[1]:?151? However, Car and Driver magazine was able to hit 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.00 seconds at 102 mph during a comparison test in their December 1995 issue.[1]:?41? The 1996 Cobra engine redlined at 6,800 rpm, with fuel shut-off occurring at 7,000 rpm.[13]
Ford`s modular V8 debuted in the all-new 1992 Ford Crown Victoria as a single-overhead-cam (SOHC) setup, and then the engine really displayed its power potential with 32 valves, dual overhead cams (DOHC), and 285 hp (213 kW) in the all-new 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII.[1]:?38?
The modular engine`s aluminum block was cast in Italy by Teksid, a firm that produces parts for Ferrari and Formula One racers.[1]:?38? SVT fitted the 1996 Cobra with the Borg Warner T-45 5-speed manual transmission,[13] which was also used in the Mustang GT.[8]:?73? (Tremec bought the production rights for the T-45 in late 1998, although the unit remained unchanged in terms of strength.)[6]:?169
