Even with the shock towers totally gone, I'm not sure about that swap ?? Isn't the 4.6 supposed to be one of the widest V8's in existance ??
I heard it was wider than a 460, wider than a FE big block, even wider than an old 426 Hemi ??? Thats just side to side issues, who knows about firewall clearance ??
It would be my guess, that swap will cause you great grief, heartache, frustration and an all out assualt on your wallet !!
