Hi! I am new member to 460ford.com and plan to be for a long time. Ive owned my originally carbed 302 5 speed mustang for quite some time and decided to make it my hobby. I though about redoing the motor, then like any gear head, that little thought pops in there "go big or go home". just so happens this swap is one of the easier ones so im gonna drop a 460 in her good and proper.
I'll admit, my car does need alot of work, all work I will be putting in. I'm doing this job right, and will be showing progress every step of the way. I have already put a good amount of time into this car but plan on backtracking and doing it all over for long term.
Before photos I have some questions and they will be very straight forward as to what about the swap i need to know.
How big do the k frame spacers need to be to fit the engine in snug? (1.5 in?)
Can you buy and aftermarket K frame that is pre-lengthed to fit?
Im sure some more questions will pop up along the way, from me. Also feel free to ask anything, ill be doing this project for a long time, I have no deadline but have been working every day.
