460c.i.d
alright i kno i saida while ago i was going to put a 460 in but ppl said a 351w would be just fine well what would i have to do to pu t a 460 in my 1986 mustang lx what part of the frame would i have to beef up and it wouldnt be opened right up at first maybe once or so at the track when i race my gf's dad for 500 bonesi dont kno if u guys remember that but what had to be done and the reason im going with a 460 is because he sold his 350 and a striped nova and is buying a 406 bbc he has NOS i think its a 75 wet shot but if i can throw a 460 together and my car hold together without twist well im doin it if the frame twist i send my car to the boneyard but what has to be done to withstand a 460 torque

RE: 460c.i.d
Installing a 460 just to beat your girlfriends father is a total waste of your money. You are gonna have to install a completely different drivetrain in your car. Your 28 spline axles will not handle it, your transmission wont bolt up, your frame will tweak hardcore... And dont bother trying to turn the car.
You can build a SOLID 351w, bored and stroked to 393 cubes for less money then its going to cost you to swap in a BBF. I just grabbed my 351 and its getting all new forged internals, and a 200 shot... I can guarantee that your girls dad wont be catching ME any time soon!
