    I've been watching that build, what a beast.
    Although I think it's just the wrong kind of thing to do with a tinny little fox body.
    Not the greatest platform, IMHO, for those kind of builds.

    I like big engines in light weight cars. Plus, the Zephyr isn't a "collector," at least not compared to something like a 60's Falcon wagon. Only problem I see is getting it to pass smog and that would depend on where it's registered.

    Cheers,
    Ken Deboy

    No that's a 557 or some such ridiculous number... but yeah it's a big block.

    Well, it's a 460+....I'm inclined to agree with Andy......as much as I like big HP in a light car.....this set up seems a bit much for that particular platform. I like sleepers but I don't like this car because it isn't one. I really hate hood humps to fit a BB in a car. Just one of my dislikes. I think I see some diagonals under this car in the future.:D

    There was a guy who did a twin turbo 460.
    He ended up pulling it and dropping in a 4.6 modular motor.

    In a Fox wagon? I would think a 4.6 would be more than enough.:yup:
