Welcome to 427 Mustang!
This site is dedicated the steps, challenges and victories in retrofitting a Ford Racing X-Head 427 engine into a 1994 SN95 Mustang GT.
In short:
- YES, the Ford Racing M-6007-X427FRT 450 HP/520 ft-lb engine does fit into a SN95 Mustang
- YES, both the engine and the Mustang require modifications…you will not have to use a cutting torch/welder to get the engine to fit
- Yes, if you modify one thing, you’ll find that you have to modify two other things that you never thought about
- YES, you will send Summit Racing and Jeg’s a lot of money…they will become your best friends
- YES, there are many ways to tackle this project…some ways require more money than others
- YES, part vendors advertise that their parts will fit the SN95…sometimes they don’t
- YES, some vendors will send you defective products…you will learn to check parts before installing them
- Yes, eventually this site will answer: How can I do a 351W engine swap in a SN95 Mustang GT in less than 1,721 steps
I hope to to give give all builders the benefit of my experience … hopefully you will save some $$$ and a whole lot of whiskey.
