the width usually isnt the issue since the heads on the 4.6s are pretty big. The normal problem is the engine height.

i'd like to know if i get a new k-member if it might be possible with some minor fab work,,,just so everyone knows why i'm interested in something as unorthodox as a 460 for a daily driver it's mostly because i have 3 stop signs between my house and the shop and moroso is a 12 minute drive away......soooo may as well build something.....unorthodox.
