454 *CHEVY!* engine into a FOX Mustang???

454 *CHEVY!* engine into a FOX Mustang???

Is it possible to install a 454 Big Block Chevy into a ford fox body chassis?
**ive already got a 1989 4 cylinder mustang LX for FREE**
-is there a kit?
-would the suspension be relocated?
-what about the rack & pinion steering?
-firewall mutilaiton?
-chevy or ford transmission??
-is this thing really possible?!@!, or more important:
-has someone else done it?

the engine is a 4 bolt main, "industrial" engine (claim made by the company which bulids propane engines from scratch) in my propane truck i cant register for some strange legal? reason. The engine is outstanding, power, reliability, always clean fluids...seems like a likely candiate...

the car will be for 1/8 mile only

[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]it can be done. you dont need to change the suspension as the chevy already has a rear sump oil pan. you may have to notch the firewall for distributor clearance. i would also run a turbo 400 as it bolts to the engine.

Put the 454 into a corvette, then tip it up on it's roof and use it as boat, you already have the anchor.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

What the f#ck is wrong with you?! Come to the "FORDMUSCLE" website and ask some dumbass question like that. I dont care chevy or ford to tell u the truth i even have a 67 Camaro but.......lol i would never be so insulting as to ask how well a 350 ran with bla bla bla. Wake up man put a 460 in it. Its a better motor anyways.

I kindly ask that this ridiculous topic recieves no more replies. I simply don't want to see it at the top of the forum list again. It's a disgrace to Ford. And all the chevy lovers would probably say it's a disgrace to put a chevy engine into a Ford.

HI ALL
Realax on the kid.. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]
I'm sure its a kid as he didn't know Ford or chitty tranny to use on a chitty motor.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
I would say put a 460 in it as you will start with 5 more cubes. I will admitt that the performance parts will be more expencive because its not a chitty.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lame.gif[/img] The more performance fords we get out there the better parts will be to get. Besides it won't be a ford anymore it you chity-a-fide it I'm not sure what it will be..[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] I get so upset at all the ford rods out there with chitty motors in them [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] I think thats [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bs.gif[/img] YOU WANT A FORD ROD THEN RUN IT FORD!!![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img] You want to run a chitty motor then put it in a chitty car..
