Hey 460Fairmont, has your 460 Fairmont been featured in any mags? I'd like to read about the installation of the engine etc, sounds awesome!!! .I'm thinking of doing an XD as my next project car, but will probably stick with the 351 Cleveland .

At the moment it's in bit's, It was originally built and converted to a 429 in the
early 80s and was metallic blue. I have no idea if it's been in any magazines, certainly not recently,
the previous previous owner kept the 429 and sold the rest to one of my mates (xbeast) who got the 460 then sold it to me
