First off, welcome to the Forums.

A stroker from the 351 block would have been a better option because of weight, but too late now...

For front springs, you might have to get custom ones made...
Check with drag racers on that.
You'll have to get a "real" throttle pedal, so you can rig up a cable system to go to your carb.
Use motor mounts from a truck that carried a 460 and fabricate brackets to mate them to the engine cradle.
Next, fuel cell in the trunk and Flowmasters mid muffler in place of the OEM saddle tank, yes!!

I'm almost certain that the OEM 8.8 rear axle won't last too long due to the new found increase of torque and power.
Start looking for a 9 inch to replace it...

In any case, you'll have to fabricate a bunch of stuff and since there is more than one way of doing this, take your time and weight things out before you get in there and start wrenching.
A good plan is a must in those kind of projects but it's way cool when done right.

Good luck Sir.

thanks for the encouragement, most people look at me like im dumb when i say im slapping a new block in an '05 stang..
One other thing i thought of, the K-member, is there a company that'll be able to machine one of these baby's up so i can drop the block in its new home?

A 460ci? That is nutz!

You sir will have a serious strip monster; with the right components, that big block will twist everything downstream of it into shreds.

If you plan to street this car, does Canadian law force you to have all the same emissions control that came with the original chassis?
The only reason why I ask is because US Federal regulations madate such a thing and the States pretty much have adopted that regulation and passed them into their state laws.

As far as laws, depends...
Here in FL, we don't have inspections and no enforcement of any kind, so you can do pretty much what you want with your car.


OP, not many conversions have been made on these cars with pushrod mills and with the abundance of superchargers, there is no market for what you're about to do.
There is a youtube video with a 05 V6 converted to a 460 floating around...
You'll have to fabricate/modify the K-member but I'm not sure that you'll need to necessarily.
FRPP makes a rear sump oil pan for the 460, designed (to a point) to fit in cars with rack and pinion like fox bodies etc...
If your engine has that pan, you're half way there...

I like where this is going...

There are companies with K members (like BMR) that will make a k-member with no motor mounts. The benifit for this is you can take the mounts of something like the truck you are talking about and use the mounts on the K member.

I do not know about the wiring stuff. There are several computers that control mulitple things in the S197. Best bet is to get a wiring diagram and study it..

Wise choice on the C6.

You can put a locker with 35 spline axles behind the motor up until you hit really high power numbers. A 9" will work too, obviously.

S197forums has a build going on now where the OP did something nearly idenitcal to what you want to do. Check it out.

Hmm this reminds me of the 589ci done a while back in an 08
