Title: Big Block 88 Sport
Post by: no911forme on August 15, 2010, 07:09:39 PM
Hey guys....

 Looking for advice on the parts needed to install a stroked 460 into a 88 Tbird sport...

 are there any tubular front cross members and who makes long tube headers, motor mounts.... 

I did a 88 Mustang back in the day (1988) and feel the need to do it again. Back then only 1 company (Kaufmann Industries) made a kit for the install.. I bought the car new and with less than 1000 miles on her, I performed the swap...

also any info on using the TC front end... any cooling problems by not having any cooling vents in the front...

I'm pretty sure someone here has done this before. 83-88tbirdguy has at least one 460 bird (that was in a TC). Search around the forum and you're bound to find some additional info.

Talk to 83-88tbirdguy. I was going to do the same swap but could not find a 460/E4OD for the life of me. So I did a bigger small block. But I talked with 83-88 and he had alot of good info.
