460 swap

beheivjer · April 30th, 2008, 11:33 PM

does anybody know if the 460 swap kit for the fox body will work in a sn95?

STREET6 · April 30th, 2008, 11:42 PM

I'm not completly sure, but I do think it would.

beheivjer · April 30th, 2008, 11:55 PM

i was thinking the cradles were the same for fox bodies as the ones in the 94-95s

trueblue01 · May 1st, 2008, 08:35 AM

Cradles are the same but there will be clearance issues with the headers. Major reworking needed or custom headers would be in order

beheivjer · May 1st, 2008, 05:59 PM

are the strut towers the problem or the firewall?

mustangfu · May 2nd, 2008, 10:36 AM

i'd bet on both. you're putting a big ass piece of machinery in a relatively small car, so expect to pull out the cutting torch to make it fit comfortably

trueblue01 · May 2nd, 2008, 10:48 AM

Mostly k member, shock towers and steering shaft

beheivjer · May 2nd, 2008, 06:21 PM

a dohc 4.6 is close in width but the height is different right?

95wip · May 4th, 2008, 10:57 PM

just get a 351 and bore it out to 427!!! save you hassle and be massive power

beheivjer · May 5th, 2008, 10:07 PM

every one has a 351 im doing this for fun.
no replacement for displacement a bored 460 would just be fun to have

rxnodoze02 · April 13th, 2010, 09:03 AM

Yeah it will work. I also have the motor mounts if interested plus you will need some extra stuff I have info pm if you want

99FiveOh · April 18th, 2010, 11:33 AM

Holcomb Motorsports could help you with those questions.

Considering a DOHC 4.6 has the same external dimensions as a 429, I can't imagine that it's unpossible, but it's not a car I'd want to drive - WAY too much weight up front for my taste.

99FiveOh · April 18th, 2010, 12:12 PM

wouldn't be too bad for a straight line race car but it's street manners might leave a little to be desired.

gearbangger · April 18th, 2010, 12:21 PM

it will work but dont forget you need to convert to manual brakes because the valve cover wont clear the brake boost you will also need to go to manaul steering they make a manaul brake convertion kit in jegs for 159.99

gearbangger · April 18th, 2010, 12:23 PM

the strut towers and firewall will be fine just have to buy the right headers

gearbangger · April 18th, 2010, 12:24 PM
