L+L motor mounts (the best I've found) 2 wheel drive or van exhaust manifolds or headers,NEVER CUT THE FRAME!!!!!!! to fit car manifolds. and a flex plate for an internally or externally balanced engine depending on what yours is, to tell there is a spacer behind the damper if it's got a fly weight it's external balance

if it's a 2wd search around in the junkyards and online for someone parting out one with a 460, get the frame mounts and accessory brackets, don't forget the transmission kickdown. this is the easiest/cheapest/best way to do it.

it is a 2wd and not freewheeling i thought he was full of it, i've heard of free wheeling, trailer specials, customs, and rangers, and the "northland" what ever that is, oh and the indy pace truck, but not shelby, so yeah any specific year of 460? by buddy told me to find some 429 heads for it. but any body already have done what i plan to do? if so i am gonna rebuild the transmission so shift kits?
