Hey guys, finally got the 460 broken in. It is in a 56 Panel truck. Thanks to all who have helped over the last year or so...still gotta run some front brake lines before road testing/breaking in...I've added a couple of links to videos...thanks,

That'll be a mean street machine. The '56's are amazing!!

 

Thanks! Even with my 2.75 hwy gears, the power at about 40 mph is scary...I think I may put a 3.55 posi in and for giggles get some 1/4 mile videos while it's a bare shell with now interior, insulation, etc.....

 

short clip of it actually on the road....it's getting there...

You must be so excited right now!!!

I had big dreams and a '51 F1 two years ago but my wife was going through thyroid cancer and my truck money went to medical bills and I had to watch the truck get towed away. I miss wrenching on it, maybe i'll get the chance again down the road...

 

yes, very excited. Sorry for your misfortune, hopefully all is better now? Happy holidays

 

I know what you're talking about! My '71 LTD that I put a 429 in could easily light up the tires with the 2.75 gears in the back, and I actually had a 2.49 9" pumpkin out of a '79 T-Bird that I never got around to putting in (since the car was basically a highway cruiser).

Congratulations on your progress, many of us live out our automotive dreams through people like you!

 

Finally starting to look like a complete truck...hood, inner fenders,grille and lights....still have the 2.75 gears, but starting to enjoy cruising 75 mph at 2500 rpms

Sweet truck, where did you get the valve covers? They look bad ***
