Default help me with my 71 coupe

i got this car for nothing, it hada blown up 460 in it. i don't have a lot of money to pour in to it. do you think it. i have a set of 460 turbo headers and a 460 that needs a lot of help. i also have a running 390. how hard would it be to drop the 390 in there until i get the turboed 460 done??? would i have to move the trany mounts and the motor mounts, or would it bolt right in?



Also i need a drivers side front fender, where could i get one at a good price?

The fe never came in the 71-73 but the 68-70 motor mounts will work good luck getting headers that fit tho.

The engine bay is huge but the headers have a limit amount of space on the drivers side tho.

Lol anything to up your already outrageous postcount, Andrew. You cheat.

I'm gonna run a proxy test on my pc overnight some night, with some command line post reply and check it on 50 different proxies so my post count will grow thousands in one night! muahahaha

Actually though, I did that. []I cheated for a friend. Hes a bigger kid and in high school was really shy and no girls talked to him. So he called into some country station radio program for a contest to have some hot intern go with you to prom and people had to go to their website and vote for which of the 5 contestants they wanted her to go to prom with and the radio station paid for food, limo, tux, etc.

he was a good buddy. I ran a proxy checker overnight pinging the website for voting for him...

He won by a margin of like 9000 votes.
