    The 4.6L is wider across the top than the 460. "Nuff said.

    I would think a mustang II frt end would be almost a gaurantee. However that is just an educated guess as I have never attempted this or looked into but it is a very wide engine so I see no other way. If you do good luck and keep us posted as it would be neat and fresh.

    I say go for it. A kit from Rod & Custom Motorsports will solve your clearance issues. It would be neat and different.

    WOW (y)

    Quick replys! Front sheet metal all off, waiting for new crossmember.
    Thinking about moving front wheels 2 to 3 inches forward for better weight distribution and more clearance to firewall.
