Post  bumper on June 16th 2010, 7:46 am

Not sure if ive posted this in the right spot or not, but here goes. Ive been talking to a couple of other members, and even posted something on the other 460 site. I have a 2000 v6 mustang that I am wanting to put a 460 in. From what I understand its should be just like a standard old school fox body swap, which wont be a problem. My concern is the k member. I have heard that I will have to swap to a 94-95 5.0 k member because my car is a v6 and then proceed to a regular fox body swap. Is this right, because if I have to swap k members than I might as well go tubular and get a really nice one. Thanks in advance.

I dont want to buy a k member if i dont have to. I have to take the wife to mexico and belize for vacation in a few weeks, and of course that overules the go-fast stuff Sad So my budget has been cut pretty good. I do see were your coming from though as far as weight savings and it would probably make the swap easier, but I would like to do it without one if possible. Thanks

Laughing would have to be a big egg.......it sure will be a big difference going from double digit horsepower to a bbf, maybe i can put one of those real tall spoilers on the back and 2 big fart can mufflers on it to keep the power down to managable levels lol!

10-4 on the Depot st scene. Looks like the Fast and Furious meets Cheech and Chong meets Sanford and Son.
BTW, any votes on how long the stock 7.5 rear is gonna last with the big block, Laughing
