Aug 11, 2002 · They exit under the doors, making it easy to swap the powerglide. Also, I chopped the towers back to allow more room for changing plugs. It only takes me about 45 minutes to change them (30 minutes to cool, 15 to change). I did drop one of our 460's into it before the final 393 installation--and the heads hit the towers.

Feb 3, 2010 · The Crites 429/460 mount requires you to remove the factory perch completely, replace it with their perch - which allows you to use factory 429/460 mounts. Both techniques have been detailed in several posts.

Aug 13, 2002 · Well fellas, you talked me out of dropping the 460 into an early Granada or Maverick. Now, I'm considering a Pinto or Mustang II. Years ago, I put a 460 into a '69 Fairlane and it was easy except the firewall had to be massaged to miss the top bolts and ribbing on the C-6. A set of custom mounts and shortened driveshaft and she was a gound pounder.

Jan 7, 2021 · Crites has mount stuff for some swaps, might check there. You will probably need to put some heavier coils up front as 460 is much heavier than a 289. I know some that did a 352/390 swap to 460 and altered the 390 mounts to fit the 460 and only remember it wasn't much of an issue to do but can't give specifics.

Aug 15, 2003 · 400 TO 460 SWAP The balance is different between the early and late model 460. early ones were internally balanced.Brackets and pulleys I have found were used to suit different models,Early are different than late model. Motor mounts can be had if you do some digging around . see if that truck was available with a 460 in that year and go from ...

Sep 24, 2012 · So it's been 20 years since I've done this swap and lots of changes since then. I know the steering box and headers are no fun, but any other little tricks I need to watch out for? 6 cyl 170 spd manual 7.5 to a 351W, C-4 and 8" posi. I have the C-4 for rebuild and 8" from a 72 Mav that matches the width on drums and spring perches.

Mar 7, 2012 · The 460 wont mount to the 302 mounts so those need replaced as well and new coil springs and front end suspension. I'm really curious about the transmission as i keep finding c6 trannies in my area for around $200. any help is appreciated.

Sep 16, 2010 · I have two of these under my belt, the first a 429 scj into a 68 hard top, the most recent my current project which is a built 460 into a ’66 GT/A convertible. I learned a lot of things the hard way on the first engine swap and that has allowed me to tackle the current task with a more enlightened view of things.

Feb 9, 2016 · Most Maverick/Comet 8" came with 2 common gear ratios: 2.79 for cars with no A/C and no P/S, and 3.00:1 for cars with the options. 9" were pretty rare in Mavericks, I think exclusively with V8 cars, but I'm not sure. I think a Maverick Grabber or Comet GT still had 8" rear if it had the 250 and not the 302.

May 5, 2005 · Get a mustang 4 cyl K-member and the 460 waps kit from FRPP and Hooker headers for a 460 in a fox Mustang and you are good to go. The glass is always half full and never half empty. Remember, Speed Safely and that Speed kills, so …
