I'm putting a 460 in a f1 with straight axel looking to see what p/s you guys recommend. And what cross members work best seeing that everything is going to be a tight squeeze.
The only OEM solution is the power assist that came on 56 F100s. There is a rather pricey aftermarket solution but it's effectiveness has been questioned by some. The most commonplace solution is the Toyota PS box.
I don't have the measurements off hand but as I recall the Toyota box is virtually the same size as the stock box...maybe just a bit taller which won't affect engine clearance. Lots of guys here have the Toyota box so maybe one of them will chime in with more hard data...
