Question







Wasn't sure where to post this sorry
 






Probably the right spot... Just not many of us have that new of a 460 (if any).

The 460 ci I have is a late 1970's and I'm using an early 1970's timing set to get better low end power...

Blow by is the only issue I really know of on the 460 and that was for the older ones. I don't know about the new ones...

Your best bet is probably going to be reading around on 460ford.com That is where I learned most of what I know about my 460, although I didn't learn enough before I rebuilt it so I didn't do all the mods I should of, like increase the drain back hole size and deck the block so I could get 8.7:1 instead of the 8.3:1 compression (I think those numbers are right).

+1 for 460ford.com. very good resource.

My limited knowledge is they are sturdy engines and can make good power relatively cheaply and easily. if you get a big block you have to get a nice exhaust setup! no better sound!
