All a 514 is, is a stroked 460, and they sell kits to drop it in a fox body.

Your going to need a stout trans though.

STOUT: 
1)  Having or marked by boldness, bravery, or determination; firm  and resolute.
2)  Strong in body; sturdy.
3)  Strong in structure or substance; solid or substantial.
4)  Bulky in figure; thickset or corpulent. See Synonyms at fat.
5)  Powerful; forceful.
6)  Stubborn or uncompromising: put up stout resistance to the proposal.

#2 would be the best fit here.

Thats motor rocks.
A good C6 or a TKO 600 would be so much fun.

No totally different animal.  Although with some custom fabrication you could make a mount bracket for a stock or 3G alternator

Let's see... $8k motor into a car that can't be worth more than $2k (to the general, non-enthusiast public) .
