I have read past articles that reference a 460 build up in SuperFord, but I can't seem to find the issue. What month and year did the article come out? Now that SuperFord is discontinued, how can I get a copy of this issue?
Thanks
Todd

 

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 30-Sep-00 AT 08:22 AM (EST)[/font][p]the august edition of Car Craft had a build up of what they called a Smogger engine. It made 491 ft-lbs.@3400RPM(maybe lower RPM becuase the dyno couldn't hold it back)and 433HP@5200RPM ON cheap 87 octane gas
Here are the specs to that engine.
ford 460 block (stock bore)
8.82:1 compression
2" od/3.5" primary headers
35* of full advance timing
Dove-C non cj/scj heads with 2.08/1.65 valves
roller rockers/stifer valve springs.
Cam shaft with .050 lift 220/228* duration
.545/.545 lift
110* lobe center
850 CFM carb on a performer RPM intake

emagine if the compression was bumped a point and a stealth intake we used along with 92 octane gas it should make 1hp per cube

83' Ford Bronco, 6" of lift, 35x12.5x15" thornbirds, and a 230HP I6
84' Ford Bronco 2" DROPPED custom 2X4, Soon to be 460/500hp.

 

Hmmm, a smogger engine? Too bad all smogger engines didn't make that much torque or power.

Thanks for the information. It gives me an idea of where I'll be at with my 460.

That EFI460 build-up is in the October 1997 issue of Super Ford. The article was entitled:"High Torque 460".I think it was on pages 104-107. I wish Super Ford Magazine were still around.

 

I would be very interested in buying a copy of the SuperFord magazine or photocopy of the article. I can be reached at notgnihtrow<at>yahoo.com

thanks,

I often make references to a Super Ford 460 buildup that we used as a model for the 460 in my father's '56 f100. I remember all the details of the engine, what do you need to know?

 

I guess I don't have specific questions, I just like to learn about various engine builds to see if there is any mods that might work for me.
