Title: 460 in cougar help
Post by: 88cat on July 28, 2005, 11:14:08 PM
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.

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
