[[File:2006 Ford Mustang GT engine.jpg|right|thumb|250px|4.6&nbsp;L 3-valve SOHC V8 installed in a 2006 [[Ford Mustang]] GT]]

The 3-valve [[SOHC]] 4.6&nbsp;L with [[Variable Cam Timing|variable camshaft timing (VCT)]] first appeared in the redesigned 2005 Ford Mustang.

The engines are equipped with an electronic [[variable length intake manifold|Charge Motion Control Valve]] (CMCV) system that provides increased air velocity at low engine speeds for improved emissions and low-rpm torque. Cylinder block material varies between aluminum used in the 2005-10 Mustang GT and cast iron used in the truck applications.

The 3-valve SOHC 4.6&nbsp;L engine was on the [[Ward's 10 Best Engines]] list for 2005–2008.

''Vehicles equipped with the 24-valve SOHC [[Variable Cam Timing|VCT]] 4.6&nbsp;L include the following:''
