Ford made a concept 1994 Boss Mustang with a 429 engine in it
( TheMustangSource.com | 1994 10.0 L Boss 429 Prototype )
I i was curious if it would be possible to drop the Edelbrock 555 crate engine in a 94/95 mustang without a bunch of body/frame modification? I read in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords one of their tech guys responded to someones question and they mentioned a 460ci would fit into a 1998 V6 with ease, so they say. And that made me curious as to if the 555 would fit in a 94/95 mustang GT.

i don't know anything about bigblocks but isn't the 555 a stroked 460? if so then it should fit, people have put 460 in 94-95 chassis before.

The Boss car in question is John Coletti's car, the car was sick, they did a performance test on it, the car was just crazy. It never (obviously) went past the prototype, but it was awesome.
That car was fabricated for that motor, they revised the K member design, firewall, if memory serves they revised the strut towers, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

To answer the question YES you can fit one into a 94 - 95 car, and it is a 460 stroked. I would love to see someone do that to their car.

460 will definitely fit... there was a guy in the area I used to live(Indiana, PA) that has a 514ci in his stang. I talked to the guy for a little but it was so long ago I forget the details of what exactly he was running. Killercanary knows who I am talking about... he might be able to give you so more info about his combo.
