427 CobraJET
In a recent 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine article, they showed a 427 pushing 1,047 HP on 93 Octane. What all would I be looking at if I was to get one of those motors and drop it into my mach1?
I know I will have to get some custom fab'd headers (to mate with the existing exhaust), a fab'd bracket for my shaker, new motor mounts, and a different trans/bellhousing etc.... what else should i be looking at? BTW, I would be getting a longblock if that was w the way I was going

Just give hellion and VT engines a call for a more streetable setup that will still make 1000 HP if thats what you need.

Good luck, stay safe. If you're in the military don't they pay you like $1500 a month and cover all your basic living costs? That's like $1500 spending money every month.
