How many rebuilds is a .60 over. I think it's two. If they run good and have low mileage from the last rebuild I say go with them, unless you're concerned about gas mileage and summer prices. I highly recommend L & L. If you do any search on a 460 swap you are bound to come up with landlproductsdotcom. Good luck and send me a pm if you have any questions. I did a 460 from I6 swap with a C6.

get some truck exhaust manifolds because car ons are kicked out. The L&L mounts from www.broncograveyard.com are nice ( got mine from there) also you will need a new powersteering pump bracket you could make one or get an L&L one when you buy motor mounts. My truck has a custom powersteering pump bracket (home made) if you have some fabricating skills and the tools to do it you could fab one up in under an hour out of some plate
