Hi I am doing a 460 swap in a 86 fox body looking for info on what tranny to use a c4 or c6 and what to use for springs in the front I want to keep power brakes and power stering also what to use for a hood and some info on k member spacers seems like people use them to lower the motor. Thanks

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the swap it puts a ton of weight up front in a car that wasn't really even designed for a small block. I'd use a good coil over setup up front and good brakes. You'll find lots of opinions on the spacers but I think it makes a normal sized cowl hood fit with proper air above the air filter. A C6 would be easiest but its a monster is go built c4 personally....

460ford.com is another good source.
