Ehhh it could be done with the 4.6
RPM, heads, intake, cam, and compression on E85. Maybe more than 400rwhp dependent on how high RPMs and high good the motor flows.
But I'd probably go big bore stroker. Easy peazy
I need your help: What should I get 99-04 GT SOHC or S197 3v???

Just my opinion, but if I were looking for close to 400 rwhp NA, I would just do a coyote swap and call it a day. Not cheap, but it would be reliable, efficient, and you would be at the bottom of performance potential vs. at the top for NA.
If E85 is available, maybe. Still pushing it. Can't get near that when you're stuck with E10-15 91 octane.

Very true. But cost would be through the roof
Plus no throttle cable and I'm still a cave man and need my cables. I don't want none of this WiFi Blue tooth throttle linkage

I've never seen 91 octane. 93 octane, E85, or leaded 110 at the pumps around here.

Yes, 3 of them
I think you are stretching what is viewed as a DD.
I completely agree with the drive by wire dislike. I like a mechanical throttle linkage.
If you are building an all out 2V that you drive on a daily basis then 360rwhp is doable. Will it be comfortable to drive in traffic? Have good street manners? No!
I'd say 330rwhp is probably near the limit of a well mannered NA 4.6 2V. Anything above that and I would say you need to give up manners in favor of power.

Sorry, meant 3 ways to control it. 2 on one door and 1 for the passengers door.
Procharger or turbo then call it a day. 
Unless it's a Mach and then kept it n/a and suffer with the thing stalling out at red lights when you forget the A/C on.

Procharger has the annoying "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" (yes, it DOES get old)
and turbo would change the way the car sounds, which IMO is a huge selling point of few on the pitiful 2v. (lets be honest)
TFS heads, CMS stage3 cams, Eddy intake, 200 shot plate system should be more than enough to keep me entertained down the road.
Can't daily that here. When its 95-115+ degrees out, it gets way hotter than that inside the car. Especially when your interior is all black and leather lol.
Is there an option for neither? Try something else for a DD.
^ that would be another option. I loved my Bonneville SSEI.

Whoa there, lets not say anything we can't take back
This is also another viable option, a world exists beyond fox platform fords ya know.
I said this and I yanked a 2V out of my car in favor of a 4V. Hell, I am building two.

2v motor, all forged, big ass borg warner turbo, pumped up transmission ....would be pretty sweet
down fall is.....your gonna spend a shit load of money to make 600+ whp
what is your budget? Have you thought about a fox body build ??
