    460 BBF in a Roadster

    FF doesn't list motor mounts for a 460 in the options list. Are they the same as the 390/428? I'm sure that someone along the way has put one in...right?

    The 460 motor mounts are different than the FE (390/427/428) motor mounts.

    I'm pretty sure some have used the 460 (I think the motor mounts are the same as some 429 motors).


    The 460 is considerably heavier than the FE (390/427/428), which are heavier than the 351W, which is heavier than the 302.

    Add in custom headers, motor mounts, maybe footbox mods (for access to driver's side rear spark plugs, etc).

    I have a set of mike fortes 460 mounts for the mk4. Powder coated an ready to go. I was thinking of doing a 385 sieries motor till I decided on doing a 461w stroker with a dart block. If your interested in the mounts let me know and I’ll let you have them for a reasonable price.
