Default 460 swap
My buddy and I are planning a 460 swap in a fox body, regardless of price how hard is it to do the swap. As in wiring, brackets, tranny, rear end, etc. Has anyone done this? Have any pictures? Thanks

Stick with the 351w block... less problems (an just as good) in my humble opinion...

I wasn't talking about the 351 I asked why they would want to put a 460 in a fox.
