Tossing around the idea of putting a 4.6 in my 6cyl 64 1/2!

In response to your extremely creative wishes, you must take into account that a 4.6 is 4 inches wider that a 460cid motor. I know you have to do MAJOR renovation to get the 460 into the bay of that car I can't imagine what would have to be done for the 4.6. The advantage would be weight. Those 4.6's are pretty light aren't they? MY buddy ahs an all aluminum one in a cougar. Are thaey all that way. How much bugger is the t-45 than a t-5. Kits are available to put the t-5 behind a 351 in those cars I know for a fact. If it is n't much bigger I'd say it would fit. I know it takes some work with the persuader (a.k.a hammer) to do the t-5 swap. I say go for it. It would be something that noone else has. At least I've never seen one, and all I do is look at mustang stuff all day.

'93 lx notch 4 banger (drive it to work currently), Using the 306, 8.8 posi, 4.10's, summit rear cover, elec. fan, cowl hood, wieand stealth intake, holley 650 d.p.carb., built c-4, e-303, full autometer guages, msd box, mallory unilite dist, and coil, roll cage, summit seat, subs, 15x10's in the back with slicks, skinnies up front, all in use for 1988 Hatch Drag Car. Hope to start running next year. Hoping for 7.20's after all is done with small motor.
