I have a 70 429 that someday I would like to build and install. I can't decide what to put it in. I have had a variety of ideas but one of them is a Porsche 928. Older ones with engine problems are cheap, Renegade makes a kit to install a BBC in one, a 460 will also fit but I might end up making my own mounts. So that is one idea.
Other ideas or strange cars to find a 460 you have seen?

How about...

A Mazda Miata :shock: I've seen some with SB's but none with a BB. One idea I've been toying around with.

Just put it into '67 Camaro and big "powered by Ford" stickers to doors. That will make any chebbyguy cry :lol:

there is a ranger here that is black with red stripes. its got the big and littles, and sure enough, a bow tie on the grill!

I would love to see a bbf in a chebby especially a camaro! Paint it FORD BLUE!!
429/c6/9 inch and ford style badges!

I know "BADGES? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES!" but imagine the look of horror on someones face when they pull up behind your tough sounding camaro and instead of the bowtie on the decklid they are greeted by a nice blue oval!
priceless

What happened to the guy on the old forum that was trying to stuff a 514 into a Fiesta?

a FOCUS!!! Ford sells a kit to convert it to rwd.

I did see a magazine piece a few years back on a '56 Chevy with a 460 in it. It also had the engine set way back through the firewall, so the the driver was sitting closer to the back seat.

Nice looking car, but even though I am a Ford fan, I still prefer that Chevies/Fords/Mopars should stick with their own power plants.

Focus

The focus would be a really crazy application. I got to drive one that had a bone stock 03 Cobra supercharged 4.6L in it (360rwhp) and that alone was incredible. I can't imagine one with a built 385 in it! Well, yes I can...and I like the idea! It would fit too; tons of room.

I also want to throw in. I think it would be really cool to slap a 521 in a 94 GMC Suburban. The only thing is my 350 gets 19.6mpg and I think the 521 will be closer to .6mpg.

And since I drive 100 miles a day it is not an option for me.

19 mpg in a Burb?? hold on to that sucker!

460 in a Sunbeam would be cool.

That's not that weird... my friend gets a calculated 19/20 out of his 96 Tahoe, with the Vortec stuff (I think), and that's all city driving.

Things that started with in-line 6 and/or double a-arm front suspension. Jaguars seem to be readily adaptable, perhaps the same can be said for an older BMW or Mercedes. A '70s era Pontica Le Mans or Grand Am would be interesting as well.

How about a 40s Crosley

My nephew has a 1948 Crosely Sation Wagon. I think the Stock motor is good for an astounding 13 Hp it is only about 1200 pounds . It would take some serious fabrication ,but anything is possible .

You can find a ton of weird ones here:

SMALL CARS BIG MOTORS

Like this 460 powered Mazda RX-7

MAZDA RX

Mostly non-Ford swaps, but there's sure some neat engineering going on.

I know it's not one of our 460's but...
