Sounds cool, will it be a Mustang, Capri, Fairmont, Cougar, or T-Bird? What year?

There are a couple of fellas on the other forum that have tube chassis cars running FE's. I haven't seen them post here, though. I know 2 guys that USED to run FE's in tube chassis Mustangs.

Was this leading up to a question?

Never saw that one but shows promise for mine. I am doing a cross bolted 445 with fuel injection. I am hoping to break the 650 HP mark and glass the truck out with some carbon fiber composite panels. I got a 9" rear all ready and I am planning on a Tremec 5 speed. I have seen Fox body K member kits to mount a FE and a bell housing to make it all work for a Fox body.
