Well I'm at that point again. Been thinking on putting the 460 in the vert. First off will I have any clearance problems with the BB? My car is low with the 351 in it. I have a c4 now will this work with the 460? Thanks guys.
You shouldn't have any clearance issues dropping the 460 in the Fox. I don't know if the C4 will mate though, I know a C6 will. The one issue you have to check is the tranny crossmember. If you look on the drivers side and it is a double hump it will fit. If the part closest to the drivers side is flat then it won't, you'll need a different tranny crossmember. it won't be any different dropping a 460 in a fox than a 4.6. Those damn mod motors are huge.
I scored a whole set up when i got mine. I got the 460, a C6 tranny still mated to the motor, a set of Hooker Super Comp headers to fit a 460 into a Fox and a Driveshaft to mate a C6 to a Fox rearend plus the motor plates for the 460 to drop right into the Fox. I don't know what the driveshaft came out of though. I'll ask the guy I bought it from and see what it's out of. I'm sure you can't use you C4 drive shaft though. I'll measure the length of it for you so you can at least have an idea.
Um, no? A BONE STOCK 65-66 C4 is good to ~400hp. The 1970+ C4s are much stronger, and with upgrades, it should have no problem holding a 460. Finding a 460/C4 bell is gonna be a problem though.you are gonna tear that C4 up if you put it behind a big block, trust me.

Yes it will, the C4s have a detachable bell housing and were used in 351M (BBF bolt pattern) applications. Finding a 351M/C4 bell or aftermarket BBF/C4 bell may be a pain in the ass, but it will work.The C4 will NOT bolt up to a 460 Ford.
I can't believe this is an issue,if you have a PA C4 that is the best thing to use.What your gunna need is the right converter and flexplate,Im not sure if the pilot shaft is the same between a BBFand SBF converter.
Dont go looking for a stock bellhousing,thats just stupid,for one you break one and you trash your trans (tears up the pump and drive).
JW 92461 is the bellhousing you want

what about staying manual, I would like to keep my ride a five speed, would any of the tremecs work 500, or 600, or the astro t-5. if so, would the bell housing have to be changed, anyone know who would make a bellhousing for this kinda set up.
