460 in a fox?

[85ragtop]

I was traded a Jasper 460 for 89 Jeep. I dont realy know much about it other than it's huge. I was just wandering if there is any way for me to put this in a fox? If not I will put it in my F-100. I will put pics of it up later.

yea...they make motor mount adapters to put it in a fox. ive seen a 89 notch with a stroked 460 in it.

Thanks man. I just cant see it fitting. I bet this thing is three times as heavy as my 351.

It fits easily! Just not much room to work in... You will need new mounts, headers, oil pan, and tranny. Also most likely a new hood, depending on your setup.

Sweet. I may do this. I am going home for lunch and will take some pics of it. I will put them up when I get back.

Where is exploding gopher? He has a 460 in his car... look a few threads back and you will see his "which muffler for my BB fox thread"

Well, it told me my files are too large. Any way for me to get them on?

exploding gopher has one stuffed under his 4" or 5" cowl induction hood. I went for a ride in my friends 89 GT with a 460 and WOW is all I got to say...

I've seen a 460 stuffed in a '79 fox before. It's a tight fit, but all the parts exist to do it. I bet a 460 fox would scream in a straight line. I'd be careful about those corners though...

Me and a buddy of mine were going to build a 460 fox a couple years ago. Then we both realized we were broke.

I twould make a sweet car! A relatively mild n/a 460 would make 500 hp easily.

These are the only pics I could find of my 460 in a cobra clone I use to own. The engine droped in easy. I had a custom made K member so the motor sat a little high and I ended up cutting a hole in the hood. FMS sells a kit that the motor sits down in the car a little better and you can get away with running a 1 or 3 in cowl. I ran a c6 3 speed in the car. The 460 was fun, never really woke up until about 4k rpms, gobbs of torque and would rip the tires off in a heart beat.

That would be badass under a 3" cowl!!!

I still can not get the pics on. I have not touched it yet. It is just sitting there next to the stand. I have a 393 I was going to put in, but I might just see about the 460.
