Hi yall so I am trying to repair my existing 460 block but lots of rust.m so it's only a matter if time till the block is done... that being said I am looking at building up from an ATK 460 short block 469 bored 40 over... externally balanced with comp cam K34-277-4 kit 268 duration .494 lift new valves and all the bells and whistles. Heads will be D3VE 2A2 heads cleaned up and some port work from mad porter site... till I can afford new heads and an intake...just going to run the stock intake and a CarterAFB carb 9635sa. I know gasket kit, oil pump, head bolts and accessories bolts timing cover, fuel eccentric, push rods, rocket arms, external balancer.. any input would be much appreciated! And rough hp estimates?

 

Truck is a 1976 f150 custom supercab c6 transmission

 

Anyone? I'm just trying to figure out what the best bang for my buck is I have about 3k to use

How is Enterprise Alabama these days? I am sure the boll weevil statue still there? Is Cowboys in Dothan still open for quarter beer night?

 

yeah the boll weevil statue is still here and no one has stolen it off the statue si e about 2001. Cowboys is still open in dothan and still rocking .25 beer nights!

 

That is good to know, I was stationed at Ft Rucker from 03 to 05 and lived outside of Dalevile for a while and then in Enterprise.

 

What is the static compression ratio with the D3 Heads? Whats your plans and intended use?

 

I don't know that part number from comp, but Strongly recommend split pattern cam kit. more exhaust.
