How about one of our LS2 457/460 engines.

A mild 460 BBF can hit the 500hp mark EZ with Torque to boot. And well over 500+ cid
And when you stuff that between the shock towers of a Fox-body stang that can weight in at under 3000lbs with the BBF, that CAN become a tall order to try and fill.
An LSX answer to that IMO would be a big c.i.d. LSX (440+). there is no replacement for displacement. you will need to get that F-fody on a diet and get the suspension hooking.

Problem solved ?
I'd do the 440 with LS7 heads, or L92 flow great for the cash..
Themack56 is selling a MID sleeved ls1 block. The MID ls1 block could handle anything N/A up to 454 ci . Any quesitons about the sleeves, contact Steve @ RED.
Then +1 put ur ride on a diet n make sure it hooks up !
With that boat anchor between the shock towers, I bet even he has a problem hooking up !
