I've come across a 460 on a real good deal, before I jump on this I have a few questions. A few things to note.
I can get a bellhousing for $75 with no forks. I'm looking for around 450 H.P.

1.) If I purchase a new flywheel/clutch/fork will the bellhousing bolt up to an 89 T5 no problems?
2.) What mods are needed besides obviously motor mounts?
3.)Will the stock lower end be safe on a N/A 450 H.P. motor?
4.) Can I easily create 450 H.P. out of a 460 with heads/cam?
What's the expected total cost for all of this. Thanks

no one has any clues?
I almost forgot. If the bellhousing does fit for the T5 than I assume the tranny mount will also bolt right up as well? The name slips my mind right now but I just spent $75 for the crossmember that holds the tranny up. (Trans mount maybe) and what about exhaust prices???
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if I should just turbo the 302 with bigger injectors/pump, etc. Maybe he resale value would be higher that way if I parted it out when I sold it.
