I got a friend that will sell me his 514. I was wondering...Will this monster fit my fox? WIll the suspension handel the wight of the engine? WIll i need a new trans? Will the stock hood fit? The engine is newit was never installed in a car he has had it for about 6 months now and needs some cash. What do you think? Good idea? I currenty got a 5.0 with slight mods in it.Will a 514 make a good street strip engine? I dont care about emissions or MPG .

the 429-460s 514 is a stroker thay will fit in the fox body mustang my dad runs a 466 in his 89gt at one time was under a 4.5 cowl now had tunnle ram with to 850cfm carbs.he made his motor mounts and headers used a c6 trans ford racing has the motor mounts and hooker has the headers there $$$$ use truck oil pan still has stock k-member used covn 5.0 springs in front and rear there stiffer then the other ones. for drive shafe used stock 5.0 used the tko kit to get the biger splins to fit
it's hard to hide that much motor so the whole sleeper thing is out of the question.

You just need a 460 swap kit and it'll be done. Most major aftermarket suppliers carry them, and you'll need at least a 4 inch cowl for clearance. 4 inch hoods are no indicator of power nowadays, how many have you seen on stock cars? I see plenty so a cowl hood doesn't scream anything more than a hood. That engine will be a tight fit but will fit. Since you're in Texas, contact Tommie Vaughn Motorsports, I think they have these kits and can tell you more.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.

It is more than doable -- Ive done a 521 in an 84 before -- bought the kit from PAW -- great kit worked beautifully, pretty cheap all in all and the car is an EXCELLENT daily driver - torque anyone?!
Anyway -- 460 swap kit can be used or if you are handy with a welder make your own mounts and motor plates.
Not hard to do -- I got away with a 2" cowl hood as mentioned by foxchassis. My buddy bought the car from me and he hasnt had an issue yet.
I bet if you did do a K member drop setup and some drop mounts you could get away with it, granted with craptastically low ground clearance, but meh -- it probably would work. However I know first hand with a mig and some time you can make your own mounts and motor plates and throw that sucker in with a built toploader and no issues.
Me and my brother put a small block chevy in his 86 coupe. then we changed it out and put a bbc 509 with a 400 turbo. then later changed to a Glide. so yes it can be done. STRONGLY recommend getting a k-member kit and better springs. And a bigger hood. I had to order a 7inch hood to clear the motor in it.

Pertaining to the original post, I say go for it. Maybe even find a shell and make a sick drag car, tell your wife it won't fit in your car but it wil fit in a notch so you need to have 4 mustangs.
514 on a Foxbody?
