Hey guys who have done a 460 swap in a fox chassis I want to put a 460 in my cougar with the least amount of money. I know I will need k member, oil pan and what else? Will I absolutelly need swap headers can the stock manifolds work? Also can I keep my power brakes without going to manual brakes? thanks guys lmk the engine is going to be out of a 70's lincoln.
Need different headers, no question about it.
i belive you can use stock manifolds i have seen a few mustangs with them
ya you can use the manifolds, mustang headers will need a little tweeking what year is your cougar? 87-88 will need a k-member swap to work right i have an 87 bird with a 460 if you want some pics, i have power brakes i used the small mustang booster the only probs i have had is the headers, swaybar and hood clearance
My cougar is a 88 and i plan to go with tubular k member I would like to use the stock manifolds for now, also I would love some pics to see more less what im into thanks guys.
Another thing I forgot to ask is that will I also need a swap oil pan with tubular k member? I belive in the lincoln its a front sump oil pan could i maybe massage the oil pan to make it fit? thanks guys lmk.
you can ussally search e-bay i got my canton swap pan off there
they can be had pretty cheap
you can get a 460 truck pan off a late 80's f series 460, that is what the fms pan kit is. power brakes ,yes. there is a pic of my old bird in another thread here, biggest engine or something.
Hey guys with 460 all of you are using the swap 460 mounts correct? thanks guys lmk
i will be but i am also using a tubular mustang k member
I'm looking at going with 460 for my TC
I hate pondering idea's
here ya go this is what it looks like to help ya along :D
Looks good i helped my buddy put 460 into his stang 2 years ago.
What headers are u using?
hooker super comps they fit real well really
I think he had ford motorsport 460 swap kit not to sure.
Still pondering 460 idea. Will not do anything till i have the TC at the shop to start anything. Plan frist get parts build car pay VISA.
I have 460 botom end with 440 rods and forged pistons already, Need a set of AL cobra jet heads. I have a roller cam and lifter kit from a buddy. C6 tranny and 9inch already. Slowly finding parts for it. I need to find a tube K member and front sus then get laderbar kit
So where do you get all the items to swap a 429/460 into a 88 cougar?? Is there a kit or do you have to buy from all over to get parts? Is the k member like in a chrysler car to swap it .....HELP :toilet:
get a mustang k member
use mustang swap mounts
use mustang swap pan
use mustang swap headers
all can be purchsed as a kit or bought seperate
e-bay usally has some good deals on this stuff
What year mustang parts do I use?? And will a xr7 rear hold up on the street...what is the bolt pattern I have a set of 17" 4 on 100mm white 8 spoke wheels ..will they fit??
Thanks a ton
