dont know if anyone has asked but how heavy are they?


Funny you should ask....I weighed both sets ( factory 16 in TC and the TRX combos...the total weight of each set were the same, so that is why the car ran the same at the dragstrip.

More TRX shots and 3 engine shots (these are shots of the "old worn out engine")
Next year the plans are to have the new engine on the stand in the car.
The headers were designed to be reversable for rear exit and when the times comes, I will turn them around and mount a single  or twin turbos up inside the front bumper.

What motor mounts did you use?  And did you need a different oil pan to make it fit?

The motor mounts are solid customs I made myself to fit the unique 87-88 Bird/Cougar k-frame.

They allowed me to lower the engine 1 inch lower than the FRPP mounts in our 83 460 Bird.

When the 514 goes in, I want to use the same mounts, but I think those giant 2 1/8th Kooks headers may hit tho. If they do I have an engine plate ready to go.

Oil Pan is a stock 83-97 F-250/F350 truck pan (same as FRPP swap pan.)

The 514 will have a Canton.
