Jasper re-man engines are supposed to good quality.

I have used Ford re-mans before with mixed results. I been told since, they just farm out their work to whoever sounds good at the time.

The 460 in my 82, my son and I did it. Of course we farmed out the machine work.

My dad had a jasper put in his F-150 about 60k ago, no problems still running strong. I'm getting my 460 done at a local shop. I just want things done a certain way that only a shop will do.

I just went back and read your topic. As for the headers I'm buying the L&L's for my 460. From what I've read they last and fit great. Later, Dan

Friend has a '89 Ford F350 dually flatbed with a Jasper rebuild 460 (fuel injected) and he's towed a 18' landscape trailer with 3 mowers on it all of that engines life, he has his foot in the gas a bit more than I, and he has 70k good miles on that motor so far. no problems.
