Default Project Big Block

As some know I have been building a 68 302 boss Mustang with a friend of the family and droping a big block in it.
The 460 came out of a 11sec xd, mated with a c10 and a 3600 high stall, 9 inch diff with 4.11 gears.
The diff is in after some shortening. The engine is and trans are in after some choping of the shock towers, but after a change of heart we have decided to pull it out again and put a toploader in for add fun!!!!!!!!

Here is a pic: crap quality I know, but I will get some more soon.

Looks like a 1970 Mustang to me. Go the 1969 front clip though, they look a lot better.

I should get the plates "EPADIS" for it.
Well should have the engine back out next week, and have the Toploader in around mid Jan with any luck. Then coustom tailshaft, twin 3 inch exhaust, 6 point roll cage, and then time to take it out for some track time.

The engineer is quite happy. I'll post up a pic of the big break package soon!

Most likely it will be trailered everywhere anyway.

Yeah, 1970 stang, and I hope its not a real Boss 302, they're worth a mint unmolested! Can't really tell from the pic too well, but the shock tower cutaways suggest its been fitted with a RRS strut package?
You'll definitly need a Big Block input shaft, the small block input has a longer spigot that won't work with the back of the big block crank (oh, and the strength of the small block input might be a bit iffy with a BB infront of it)
