460 swap into a fox, specifically accessories
I couldn't find too much directly related to my question. When I make the swap, is there any way to get my current accessories (like a/c and power steering pump) to work with the 460? Or am I looking at also doing a manual steering rack and fabbing something up for the a/c? I really don't care too much about the a/c, but I have kids who like to ride in the car, and since it's gonna be a daily driver, I'd like for them to be cool in the summer. Thanks in advance.

I guess I'll have to go to the salvage yard and do some looking and measuring then so I can see if I can figure a way out. Has noone tried to do this, or do most use the stock parts from later model vehicles to their a/c and power steering to work (I'm sure I'm not going to be the first to pioneer this)

Look at the late model 460 trucks. and look in the proven build section to get some ideas.

I mocked mine up a couple of months ago and if I remember correctly there were no issues useing the late model brackets with early style heads. If you are limted on room like for a mustang they proly arent going to work, not sure on this but they do add quit a bit of length to the front of the motor. Hope this helps.
