RWD T-Bird or Cougar motor swap

I am considering purchasing an early to mid 90's RWD T-Bird or Cougar, in hopes to later mount a 460 motor and appropriate transmission. Certainly, this will require modification. Does anyone know if there are mounting/conversion kits available for purchase that would allow for mounting such a motor/trans in a vehicle such as this?

I street race my big block SUPERCOUPE. the swap is a easy but complex one . Welcome to the club of KILLER BIRDS.

You can do just about any thing you want to them. Here is my 93 Bird.

It won't work.It's impossible.No one can make it happen.Just tell me where you are,and I'll be glad to come by and pick up the engine and take care of it's disposal for you.LOL.

There are at least a few people who have swapped 385-series big blocks into MN12 T-Birds. But I'm not aware of any off-the-shelf kits for doing the swap.

Send me a p.m., if you would like the email address of a guy in Milwaukee who has done a few of these swaps.


cheers

I am currently working towards a 460 swap along with an LS1 T56.
The hardest part I've found so far is the electronics! Someone said you have to remove/modify the A/C box for it to fit. Use a (creative)combination of Bird mount (bottom) and BBF top for motor mounts.
I was going to use a single plane 4 bbl intake drill and install injector bungs and make some custom rails from blanks. A 90* adaptor on the intake to use stock type TB (to keep hood clearence). A McLeod adapter for the t56 and make the trans xmember myself. The LS1 t56 uses a similar slave for TO brg, but has a 28 spline IP shaft. Using the LS1 puts the shifter near original position. Slix stick shifters (McLeod) are availible with up to a 4" offset. Mike
