429/460 build

Does anyone have a link to a good forum for 385 series engines?

Uh, yeah, no. I've had a post up over there for a couple days and got zero response. I don't think there are any active 460 guys who know the engines on a parts mix and match basis. I have a 429 and an EFI with a ZF. Looking for #1, use of the overdrive, #2, carbed with heat crossover, not just slap the adapter on the efi intake. #3, probably doing a head swap on whichever engine I use. Lots of different chambers, valve trains, deck heights, piston dish cc and I don't want to re-invent the wheel, want something tried and true and not expensive.

Try 460FORD.com. These folks are race oriented so YMMV with regard to relevance. The basics of a 460 build are well known so look in the archives for those favorite recipes. There's a lot of aftermarket stuff as well, some of it pretty exotic like John Kaase's semi-hemi Boss cylinder heads.
