Im wanting to swap in a 460 to my mustang. Im thinking of trickflow heads, maybe .750 lift cam or so and the trickflow intake and holly carb. Does the motor just fit in with the motormounts for the swap and the oil pan? Can I use the heddman headers that are made for a 460 swap? Do I run a C6 trans and does it take a special crossmember to fit right? Where do I get brackets for the accesories and is it possible to run the stock powersteering on it?

to answer your questions.....
-Motor fits right n with swap mounts, oil pan and headers.
-I have the C6 in there, bolted right up to the stock AOD crossmember with the AOD tranny mount, and yes its at the correct angle. An AOD driveshaft was shortened 3" and had a C6 yoke put on.
-I used the all the 5.0 accessories, still have stock P/S, and ALT assembly with the belt tensioner, i fabbed up some brackets and it took some thinking but i have a full serpentine setup on the car.
ANy more? lol
