Im sure you know about all the 460swap kits available for the fox so I wont bother mentioning those by name. As for the swap itself, if you plan on using a C6 trans, the trans tunnel will have to enlarged abit(read beaten with a hammer) in the bellhousing area. A few trial and error test fittings maybe required to get itenlarged enough. The next thing is you 'll need a cowl hood to clear, not only the carb and air cleaner, but the distributor as well. Other than maybe some header clearance issues, depending on the brand you use, thats all I can reallyremember as far as engine compartment mods go. The swap kit should address everything else as far as mounting the engine and trans itself goes.

they sell motor mounts so you can put a 460 in a fox. id go with a built c4 so you have more clearance. the c6 is too heavy anyways. check out 460ford.com 460 foxes are a dime a dozen there
