460 build thread
Again, I wasnt trying to get you worked up, however I was lookin at this post when another tech walked by and saw the pictures... He is an old school Ford guy / Mustang guy / engine builder and those were his exact words to me. I hope you make the #s you are going for. Im curious to see the final outcome.. nothing like hearing a cammed pushrod motor in a new-edge

the less power i make on motor, the bigger the shot of spray is going to be...if i fall a little short ill up it to a 225 shot
blown 2v would be blown up before it ever hit the power levels im aiming for
and if you dont think a h/c/i 460 is capable of 450hp, then you need to go research some more
i have a full race port job on the heads, a 500 lift cam, decent intake, and a 750 carb...that is good for 400-450 at the wheels... and even more torque.... i really dont care about how much it makes on paper, but im aiming for low 12s without spray
im building the exact setup the guy who helped me build it was using and he made plenty of power...the car should be running low 12s on motor, and then 11s with the 200 shot wet kit
i could have bought a blower for the price of the swap, but then i would have needed to buy a new shortblock.... for the cost of a shortblock i could punch this motor out to a 557, which is the plan once the swap is finished....the motor going into it is just a play around motor, it wont be staying...thats why i bought 2 of them... once the swap is done, im building a stroker
the weigh gain doesnt bother me, ill be losing some of it anyways....as it sits now and how it will sit after the swap, i plan to only gain 250lbs

I'm shooting for 500rwhp N/A with my new motor, and if it don't go 10's I'm gonna set it on fire.
im only shooting so low because ill be running with bad suspension .... im aiming for 10s, just not right away after the swap

thanks...if i dont get my goals, i will spray the hell out of it until i do!
found a semi-built tranny... tci valvebody, converter, tranny cooler, and external filter that im picking up sunday...heading over to finish slapping the motor together... gaskets came in today and we ordered a bolt set instead of reusing the old bolts, so that came in today too
