dude thanks for keepin an eye out on ebay,yea a 427 would be way cool but think about the new ford V-10 it shares alot of design ideas with the 427 SOHC engines ie. full skirt block single overhead cams cross bolt main caps ect and all the hipo pistons and rods for the 5.4 fit!

yup. I need info. Is the Crites conversion kit worth buying or should I fabricate my ownd perches and mounts? What are the changes needed? Is the FE about the same size between the towers and what mounts do I need?

go with the crites kit (get the headers as well) and save yourself a nervous break down ..the 460 is wider!

sure can. i'm looking to do a 460 swap on my 66 in the spring.. i have had a 351C 4V 4spd in there for the last 19 years, looking to pull that out over the winter and drop a 460 in.. any info and pics of the swap would be nice.. also been looking at the crites swap stuff.. i was looking at the rear spring relocation kit they have, has anyone ever used it and how was it to install? my biggest thing i need is MORE tire under the back..

When we put the 460 block in my 69 we found a 5 lb. sledge hammer very helpful for clearance in the tranny tunnel. Might look kinda bad with the motor out but when its in you cant even tell.
