Post 460 in a '69 mach 1

I want to drop in a 460 crate engine in my '69 mach 1 but im not sure if it will fit. What modifications will I have to do to the engine compartment and suspension?

Search throgh the arcives here a bit, this topic came up a while ago. It can be done, and I think the consensus was without too much dificulty. Don't know the specifics involved.

I don't know how much bigger the 460 block is then my 351 cleveland (big block), but if it is similar in size it will fit nicely without modifications to the engine compartment/shock towers themselves. As far as I'm concerned the 69-70's were designed for a BIG motor ! Hope this helps.

Thanks and Happy Mustang Motoring.
