Definetly go through ebay, not directly through companies. I paid $400 dollars for my D&D K member; two days after I seen them selling on ebay for like $325 shipped. And they were dropshipped right from D&D.

You should do a google search on doing a BB swap on a fox body. I am sure you can find a whole bunch of tech articles, etc. on there.

WHEN YOU SAY MOTOR PLATE? WHAT IS IT WHAT DO YOU MEAN? AND WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT THE BRAKES?
well theres a few ways of doing the brakes here is a pic of the front motor plate. I use manual brakes which I have n o problem stopping from 140, but heres the kicker. If you are running a standard size valve cover you can use a smaller brake booster from a newer mustang and have power brakes, but if you are running a cam that will rob the engine vacuum then the booster is useless. Gotta figure out your game plan

here is damons mild 466 on the dyno. A429 heads which are as old as dinosaurs, from 1990ish. The torque these motors make can only be equalled by small blocks with 3 times the money. http://www.zippyvideos.com/955684666...o_feb_25_2006/
