    Project Slayer: 88 fox body 514 conversion

    Ok heres the deal.   i received this car 2 and a half years ago as a graduation present from my dad and it was in a million pieces but the body is mint and i want the body to stay like the stock Gts of the era.  But i have had several 302s and i want to do something extreme with this one.  I found jegs has a 514 block but i have never worked on a carborated motor or a motor this size.  i know that they make motor mounts for the 460 block and i believe that they will work as the 514 is a 460 block bored out.  if i am incorrect on any of this please let me know.  anyway,  i would really appreciate knowlegde on what will work good for heads, cams, ect.... also what would i need to run for a tranny.  i have already reinforced the frame so that is not a problem and i plan on getting a ford 9 inch rearend.  This is only an idea right now but if you have any other suggestions i am open to any.  i have also considered getting the crate 07 gt500 motor but decided against it for the time being.  Please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    I don't know where you are located, but there is a guy here in Jax, FL that can definitely help you out.  His name is Tony and has ran a big block (460 and 514) in most of his fox's.  Go to http://www.hp-performance.com/ 

    He is a great guy that loves tuning these cars and is always willing to give advice.  He's ex-Navy search and rescue crewman and a lot of his business is with Active Duty Military here in Jax.
