Thread: fox mustang parts and 460 swap parts.

Tweet

Hey Thunder, I stopped after work tonight and shot you a few pix of the Capri that I set up originally to hold the 460. You don't need all of the stuff shown in the pictures, but it sure makes getting it in there a whole lot easier, especially with headers and all.

The first picture shows the adapter I mentioned that gets rid of your power brake booster, and converts it to manual brakes. If you buy one, get the kit that includes the pushrod. Some don't have it, and you have to modify yours.

Some of the pictures show the D and D crossmember. Compare this picture to your stock crossmember, and you will see how much clearance you pickup in the pan and header area.

Other shots are of the coil overs my Son added. I originally set it up for Moroso coil springs, but he bought taller springs, and we had fits trying to get them in, so he finally just went to coil overs. I have to admit, they look trick, and will probably transfer weight better. The car will see limited street use, so these should work ok.

One shot shows the tubular lower a arms he added at the same time. He has more money than me, what can I say?

Hope these give you some idea of what you can do. By the way, also be sure to buy one of the Battle Box kits to reinforce your lower control arm torque boxes, as these can get torn out real quick with sticky tires and some decent horsepower. Also, add subframe connectors. After we added ours, you can now jack up one corner and the whole car lifts up, no more flex in the chassis.

If you have any more questions, just yell.
