Hi, I hope someone can help me out, I have a 427fe engine number code says its a 1967. Id like to put this engine in my 1990 mustang but i dont know if the transmission will bolt up. and if it doesnt what years or type of tranny should I be looking for? thanks!
Can I ask a really vague question, without insulting you?
Why would you want to put that engine in a Fox Body car? You can get just as much power, with a lot less weight and a better fit out of a 347 or even a 351w swap. Even a 460 has been put in many of them.
I don't even think there are any mounts or K member kits for an FE into a Fox Body.
If you insist, you are going to need a transmission with a big block bolt pattern, most likely a C-6 if using an auto.

Yeah, I wasnt sure, I am a new ford guy I got the 427 engine from my uncle who is into street rods and just figured I'd ask. My 302 works fine I'm just looking for (like everyone else) lots of power..haha thanks for the info.
Yeah, would be an interesting swap, but that engine would be better in a Cobra replica, or old Stang...stroke that 302 to 331 and then try to wipe that smile off your face.

yeah I have been looking into heads, intake and cam combos for my 302 instead. I am going to save the 427 for a future street rod project. any idea what the best kit/combo is?

I'm going to get the Edelbrock Top End Kit. I've been thinking piecing it together and maybe save a couple bucks but I was adding things up that maybe I'll end up paying more, such as extra for gaskets, timing belt, etc. The Top End Kit for 1880 or something like that comes with the cam, heads, lifters, bolts, intake, all the gaskets, timing belt, get a $25 dollar rebate on the Edelbrock intake in that kit, PLUS you get 2 aluminum/chrome Edelbrock Valve Covers for free!!
yeah I was looking at that kit, but I dont think its compatible on at 1990 302 efi engine, the kits I found for my engine are about $2500. made by trick flow.

I just did a google of your year (totally didn't see the year at the top) and it showed the link I posted from JEGS and Summit (Edelbrock 2091 - Edelbrock Power Package Top-End Kits - Application - SummitRacing.com) and still is the same part number. Guess the only difference is you're running an EFI and not Carb. Doesn't come with a carb btw. Call them up. I've read and received lots of feedback that this kit is really good.
