Here is a 400 all stock fresh rebuilt, better pistons and a Crane cam.

I figured I would get these comments, I am working on a web page to detail
all the engine components.

The idea of this thread was not to show that the 400 is a better engine than the 460, but to allow the people who are contemplating weather they should
pull there 400 and install a 460.

This is the only stock 460 we have built and dyno'd for a customer. Last time I talked to the customer, he said it was a great running engine.

Why it does not have the power you think it should, I don't know. It is a '77-'79 460. If you have another dyno chart of a stock rebuild with an RV cam, lets see it.

The owner of the engine was maybe going to stop by here and give his opinion, but again, not a lot of people dyno a stock engine.

I can't disagree with your comments, but I also know we do not try to build customers crappy engines.
