I need advice from anyone who has done the swap before or who has big block experience in the fox bodies.

I have a 1976 460 that I am going to put in a coupe, yes I am going to keep it EFI or convert it rather. I will be going with the spider intake, electric water pump, new crank, pistons, rods, cam, basically everything.

Can I use the wiring harness and computer that is in my fox now or will I have to use one out of a EFI 460 truck or so? Also I am going with the C6 setup and most likely a 9 inch rearend with the 4.11 gears. Obviously I will need new springs up front for all of the new weight, but what about frame reenforcement? I know hooker makes headers to fit in the car and I found the oil pan i need for it. Any other tip or pictures of those who have done this or known someone who has? Thanks!
