Will it fit?

[Rideredder]

I am not intending to do this, but I have a '77 Lincoln Continental sitting in my yard and I was just wondering if the Ford 460 will fit under the hood of a '87-'93 Mustang? I am just curious as to if anyone has tried it. I've never seen it done.

By the way, the Lincoln that I have is for sale. As I said before it is a 1977 Lincoln Continental Towncar sedan with 25,000 actual miles on it. I just changed the factory tires less than a year ago. Only problems is it has some body damage where a deer ran into the passenger side of it, and it needs a new battery. A body shop estimated the damage as $1,200 worth, but I don't want to spend that to fix it. I will get pics if anyone wants to see it. It is near mint on the inside.

yes it will fit, all u need is swap motor mounts, swap headers and oil pan and itll go right in, for that year i would reccomend rebuilding it for more power since they wre fairly low on power that year....

It'll fit, but probably not under a stock hood, and it may not clear the brake booster (that might depend on what valve covers you're running).

And yeah, a '77 460 probably made about 200 hp so you'll need to do some work to make it worthwhile to swap in.

Right, I didn't mean under the hood, I meant between the wheel wells.

Yeah, do a search for for "460 swap" in the 5.0 tech and you'll turn up some info. I think I saw some pictures of one on the Corral too. Like was said, there are kits to do it.

Is it doable, why yes.....yes it is......

Yes, it's been done a bunch and the conversion stuff is pretty available. No reason not to, unless gas mileage is an issue. It's a pretty easy way to run low 11's or 10's on motor all day, for a good bracket car.
