Cool cold shoulder tis tis

Im alittle detured i guess im gonna have to lay some smack on the table lol is my question for you guys to complicated its not a big deal its crazy its like not pulling over to help an old lady change her tire in the rain cause she's got an old chevy caprice or something. If i can help somebody move foward in any way i dont think twice about it why are you all worried about my engine choice most of the profiles i ve read have way more stuff than me if we ever race you should be good "maybe" . Its like this i need advice from someone who knows. this swap is nothing new a lot of people have done it and a lot of you have thought about it sorry i cant afford half of your feature cars, "NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN"

Maybe I missed something but what is the question? I'm guessing by your sig that you're inquiring about a sbc swap into your ford mustang?

Dude not to sound mean but what the heck are you talking about? You really need to learn how to punctuate.Your sentences are run on, and off no substance for what you are needing.There is no real question either?

steering shaft hits the tube and the firewall on the collector. That was with the headers for the s10 conversion headers. the main thing is clearing the motor mounts and the steering and the firewall but i cant see the car its in oklahoma and im just relaying info to the guy who s trying to help get it together

I agree with MustangPat93. I'm pretty open minded, and would help anyone stuck on the road, but SBC/LBC in a Ford is like a bikini on a guy...it just doesn't belong.

I have heard for the first time someone with a Chevy Vega putting a Ford 460 in it! It's one of those things that when someone says it can't be done look out because it is about to be!

Feature car? My a$$, I drive my Cobra almost everyday since I bought it 8 years ago, it is a labor of love, but not any magazine car...it has a great set of bolt ons and will be for many many years...it's amazing how someone who thinks we are haters throws the first insults...

Ummm maybe I should pay more attention.

My apologies if you feel like you have been given the cold shoulder.

I've never done that swap nor have I considered it.

So I don't have an answer for you.

(i guess from now on if I don't have any input I should post that fact)
