Hi all,
I am an old drag-racer type and I remember magazine articles back in the mid-80's featuring the Kaufman Products engine swap kit for replacing the 5.0 in a Fox-body Mustang with a 460 big-block.
It included the oil pan/pickup, headers, motor mounts and whatever else.
Is there any company out there making a similar kit?
I have been keeping a mint, Southern '82 GT in storage since 1988 and can finally afford to 'play' with it!
Thanks!
