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

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
