70 Torino GT Shock tower relocate how to

**Goatherder** · 11-16-2002, 01:29 AM

I have a 70 Torino GT and I want to put my 460 in it. The shock towers are really close and I want to see if anyone knows how to relocate them like they used to back in the old days.(60's and early 70's)Does anyone sell a kit to do this, or is it one of those custom deals? Any old racers out there?

They used to chop them down (remove some of the middle section) and remanufacture the shock, as far as I know

From the tech department on this site..It's a 69 mustang but the principle should be the same..

Why would you have to cut them if the factory put 429,s in them?

I've got a 429 in mine, and it may be a lil snug, but I wouldnt call it tight by any means. There is as much room under there as there is on the F-350.
