Ok, I did a search first-but found nothing on doing this in a big body. Anyone know if it will fit with in the bay without doing a MII conversion like the earlier models?
Dont quote me but I believe a modular motor (SOHC) is almost 1" wider on both sides and the DOHC is closer to 2" over a FE motor. They are just so big because they are 90* V motors and over head cams
Wow what a difference! Why is just because I guess-the hubby's idea. We were going to go 351 until this weekend when he spent too much time talking to a friend with an 03 Cobra with a 5.4 in it...lol. Since the 03 Cobra has a supercharger stock, could be interesting.
i have been wonndering that myself. i don't know of anyone who has done the conversion, even on the web anywhere. i "think" it will fit with possobly only some minor notching of the shock towers. the big body 71-73 cars were designed from the factory to bit a Boss 9 with no mods and the 4.6 is only slightly wider than a boss 9.
