    71 Coupe 460/T56

    302 to 460 Motor Mounts? I’d assume the all use the same frame just different mounts. I’d like the 460 in asap before I cave and buy a Z06 since I’m getting bored with a Honda civic. Who’s swapped the 460 in a small block car and which mounts did you use?

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    It's been a while since I've been on the forums, but I rebuilt my transmission after having a string of bad luck with it, not too bad for my first time. Didn't get many pictures of the process because I was covered in oil. Next up I'm looking to try my luck in upholstering this winter since I...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    I just put the wheels on the car. I haven't really seen a lot of information in one place on what works well, it's usually scattered around a thread, so I'll post all that I have learned here.  Rear: Running a 17x10.5" FR500 wheel in the back with 6.82" backspacing and  a 1.5" spacer, and the...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    I love them too, my dad has a set on his FFR Cobra. I mounted the tires today and everything fits. 285/40/17 on a 17x10.5 rim with 6.8" back spacing. Next time I'm going to squeeze 315s on since I still have a couple inches of room in there. Didn't have time to get to the front today but I'll...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    Just bought 17x9 and 17x10.5 FR500 wheels, also going to pick up the 460 Saturday, I'll post pictures when I get the chance. For now I'm in no position to do a T56 swap, since I was quoted over $5,000 for it, so I'm settling for a built C6. The 460 has ported iron heads, unknown cam (sounds...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    It's funny you mentioned FR500, I've been looking at them for the past hour and they look great for the money! I've can only get them in 10.5" and 9" for 17s, and they have the backspace I'd need for the rear but I'm clueless on the front backspacing/offset. I'd like a 245 or 255 up front. I...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    I'm in search of good 17" wheels, I really want these VN427 with Nitto NT555ZRs, but they're around $2,000, and I don't want to dump that much in wheels. I have 285/40/17s from my brothers mustang I can use, just looking for a good wheel that will look good on a 71-73. Any suggestions?

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    I agree Daniel. I hooked them up today and drove it to lunch, everything works great except I accidentally left the switches behind the gauges so I have to tear everything apart again.  lollerz

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    Just got my new dakota digital gauges. Figured I should get a good set since none of my gauges except speedometer worked before, small investment to prevent damage to the 460. They're in the car as of tonight but I need to finish up wiring tomorrow morning.

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    For the headers, I don't want to risk having fitment issues with long tubes, so I was thinking block huggers and fabricating an exhaust to get pretty close to the stock location. I already know the T56 is shorter in length, likely requiring the engine to get moved back about 2 inches. This would...

    71 Coupe 460/T56

    I own a 1971 Mustang Coupe, originally a 302 2V, now with an ATK crate engine and new C4 transmission (not so new, drives like junk). I have a 460 Big Block Stroker making 475 Horsepower and a C6 Transmission. Both are brand new, nevermind used besides engine dyno. I want to sell the C6, Buy a...
