does anyone know the advantages or disadvantages to switching a 5.0 motor out of a fox body to a 460?

weight.... cost... etc etc

stick with a small block

wieght and cost (like adder said) vs. insane amounts of horsepower possible

well i have the motor i just bought it from my uncle and we are going to aim for 700rwhp but would that make up for the weight of the bigger motor

with that kind of hp you better have a full roll cage, full drag suspension, a built rear end and a built c6

stroke a 351 windsor to a 408 or bigger than put some badass heads and a procharger with intercooler, but seeing a stroked 460 in a fox would aslo be cool

lol ya, with the right block a 460 can be bored and stroked to 806ci

it will have a cage and suspension and built rear end + a tranny my uncle races and built a olds that runs 9.5 in the 1/4 he will be helping me the whole way.

this is my first ever motor build but im going to take it easy and do the internals and such first then it will be either sc or tt at the end.

any good sites to look at for internals for a 460?

same place you'd find parts for a small block - and if your looking for rotating assemblies stick with tried and true names like eagle

stock or aftermarket?
