i have a 2003 mustang with the 232 V6 and i was plannin on putting a 460ci ford racing crate motor in it some time next summer... and i was wondering first off will it fit?? and secondly are there any major problums that i should start looking into??

 

I'll bite, don't do it!

 

No....I dont even want to go into all the **** you'll have to swap even if you even found some slim chance to get it in the car

 

Since the architecture of the SN95 is similar to the Fox Body, to do it, all you really need to do is swap to a 94-95 K-Member and buy the install kit from Ford. It includes oil pan, timing cover, water pump, and motor mounts. For headers, the aftermarket has plenty for this swap.

 

It will fit in the car. you just might need a different hood. There were pictures or a video somewhere of a 99-04 v-6 with one in it. It's crammed in there, but it fits except for the hood. I was looking into doing that someday when money isnt so tight.

 

here is a 410 stroker http://videos.streetfire.net/video/C...9E842448D5.htm

 

It will fit.

 

it will work, but will take a bit of work

 

You are better off doing a 4v 281 with KB or a 330 with a KB.

 

No replacement for displacement! Personally, I would throw in a 429 w/ hemi heads to make an 03 Boss 429. Do you plan using a carb or FI?

 

ya i was planning on a big old school v8 and carb... so really any bigblock ford motor will do.. i think i like the idea of a 429 with hemi heads... ill go look into that

 

Unfortunately, if you want the old school power, you are really only limited to the Windsor and the 385 series engines due to the k-member. Keep us posted on the progress though, I have never seen an 96+ Mustang w/ anything other than the 4.6 so I would like to see the outcome.

 

It will work but not without hrs of modifications that will need to be done to the car...
