you have a c6 to go along with that 460, which is a fairly big and heavy transmission

defintely probably take some cutting to get it to fit.......

you have the car, you have the engine, go measure it and see

if it helps at all... I do believe at one time someone did swap a 460 into a 240sx.... but I don't know what forum they were on if any. but it has been done

it was a full on drag car I believe

if a 351 m-400 will fit in a ford festiva then you could make any thing work with the right amount of money,time and know how

i just might scrap that idea and put a chevy 350 w turbo 350 trans in i can get the mounts and brackets from the redneck shop up the road

LS1 is a tried-and-true swap. Might want to look into that if you really want bowtie-power.
