Yea I know this ain't new but who makes the easiest kit with maybe shorty headers also I want to use stock hood with no scoop. Saw a Super Stock car at Montgomery an 85 Mustang and it had a 460 with STOCK HOOD.
Thanks

Not sure about getting it to fit under the hood. May have to be custom. As far as I know, most of the kits using motor mounts keep the motor up high. I did this this swap but I used a motor plate, which kept it as low as possible, the engine was practically sitting on the steering rack. I was using a very tall Stealth intake though, so maybe a low riser intake might clear.

Not sure what you are planning engine wise, but I think you will like the combo. I had 10.5 comp, big .595 cam and I think like 312 duration. Stealth intake and 850. WAYYYY too tight converter and 4.11's and had a best of 11.85 et. First big block build, lots of errors , but still lots of fun!
