460 is a big block. used in f250's from the same time foxes were in production. might fit with some "minor" modifications.

It will fit with some work. There is 460 kits that are made to put them in a fox body. I seen one in a 91 lx at the strip last summer, the last tubes on both sides of the header were made of some metal type of hose because the fit was so tight. I wouldn't recommend doing a 460 because of all the added weight to the front of the car though.

A 460 will fit in a fox. They make special motor mounts and headers so it will go in without modifying the chassis. It will be cramped though.
