Hate to do this but. . .while it can cost close to a grand to put a C in a 82 Fox, I did it for the cost of a set of 5.0 motor mounts. Used the stock exh. manifolds and radiator. A little adjustment to the tranny crossmember because of the C-6 and I was in business. Tons of torque. 40-80 is in the 4 second range. . .in third gear no less. Would I do it again, yes but I'd probably spend the extra for headers.
BTW. .it's still out in the driveway awaiting a rebuild to freshen it up. I'm looking for a notch to put it in. And this time it's gonna get shiftered 5 ways instead of the C-6.
