Yes I think it is also Mr. Gasket who makes the curve kit which is just 2 springs. I paid less than $7. If you pull the carb off the next piece under the carb is the EGR spacer. I am confident Mr. Gasket has a website. I bought my spacer from Advance Auto for $18. I bought the recurve kit from a local speed shop. I got my heads from Pull A Part. They were $34 each. I would do some homework on the cam before going into it. The cam I am going to buy wants 4* advanced. You might get even more power from retiming the stock cam to 4* advanced. The 460 site should be of service with info about that. Those guys really know their stuff. Bottom line is if you simply recurve the distributor, put in an early timing set just to bring the cam to 0 & the carb spacer you will notice a big difference in how it runs. If you can find a 750 cfm vac secondaries carb you can expect even more. The exhaust is the weak side of the engine. Headers (prefer 1 7/8" primaries but 1 3/4" will do) & a low restriction exhaust will help greatly. Porting the heads can get you up to 80 hp. There is so much power just sitting there in the engine waiting to be let loose. Seems like anything I do makes it run even better. My wife had drove our truck with the 302 which moved it down the road fairly well. The 1st time she drove the truck with the 460 in it after I did some work on it she was talking to a friend. Her description of the truck was "Oh my f&^%*&g God!". Tonight she said we will be needing to buy wheelie bars before long.
Alrighttt, i should start the swap tomorrow afternoon and ill be making the mods over a couple of weeks, i'll keep ya posted on how the differences go, see how i like the changes, i'm sure before i graduate (Year from now) i'll have her double the hp she had stock!! Oh if only
