    That yellow mustang is actually a late 03/04? platform adapted to the 65/66 stang.thats not the 65/66 stangs original engine compartment (in other words)It can be done though question is "how much you want to spend??"

    im thinkign of just shaving the shock towers . look at how much room he has now. and the plugs are on top so.... i think i could gain the much room by notching the towers.

    The only car I see in those pics that has shock towers, is on a chassis that originally had that engine in it. The only thing that yellow car shares in common with your average '66 Mustang, is that it looks like one. I seriously doubt you are going to be able to shave the towers enough to get a 4.6 in there without some serious modifications to the stock front suspension.

    yeah. well ill pull the towers out and do some measuring and see what i come up with. really want a mustang 2 front end but i dont see why i need to buy a 1500 dollar set up. why cant i just cut one out of a mustang 2?
