its an interesting swap but in the long run it would be cheaper and more effective to build a 302 or 351 based engine.

a 5.0 stroked to 347 would be another great choice but, with the power levels that i think you have in mind, a better aftermarket block would be a necessity.

I swapped a '89 5.8l into my old '87 mustang coupe. I was making about 600rw with a Vortech S-trim @ 14psi.
You will need:
Headers
Oil pan
Brackets (I made my own)
Belt
Crank pulley spacer
Cowl hood or scoop
- I may be forgetting something, thats all I can remember of the top of my head.
Swapping a 4.6 into a fox requires lots of fab work. Most people chop up a distributor and run it off of one of the cams. There is a ton of other stuff that you have to change/modify. Its no easy job.
