I just posted the torque thing, but a 4.6 with more torque than a 5.0, kinda hard to belive but probably true. the 351W motor is almost a bolt in, but not really I have put one in a '85 ford ranger and tubbed it out, the RX7 swap isn't that bad and I have had to make custom mounts for the ranger so I could manage, I also had to do almost that much work to get the engine in the truck and ended up w/ 11" clearence from the front of the water pump to the radiator(sp) so Im pretty expirenced w/. swaps. Im not sure if the 351W is a bolt in swap in <fox bodys. Custom pipes are not hard to make unless its mangeral(sp) bent tubes which require a special machine, I know peoplw who build 9sec. race cars with a lot of cuztom stuff on them (headers, exhaust, and some other tubing) so getting the pipes isn't hard.
