In 1996, Ford finally retired the aging 5.0L V8 in the Mustang GT and SVT Cobra, replacing it with a new aluminum 4.6L DOHC modular unit that was smoother and had slightly better fuel economy.  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.  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.  The Romeo engine,  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.  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.  The 1996 Cobra engine redlined at 6,800 rpm, with fuel shut-off occurring at 7,000 rpm.
