could i get at least 400 torque and 400 hp with a 460 fuel injection. also where can i get the whole fuel injection kit for a 68 460 engine

 

Depending on the build, those numbers are reachable. As for the fuel injection, you can either get the heads (the 68 heads wont match factory EFI), manifold, Computer, etc from a later 460 EFI motor, or go with a Holley Pro-jection which is available as a Throttle body Injection unit that will bolt right on your manifold, or as a Multi-Port Injection, which would need a manifold modified for the injectors.

 

I spoke to Edelbrock about EFI for the 460 and they are considering developing one. But who knows what that means.

 

If you are talking about factory type multi-port EFI, then 400lb-ft is easy -- The '96 460s came off the line rated at 400lb-ft. 400 HP is a different story. That same '96 motor put out about 250 hp, and getting another hundred-fiddy would be a long, expensive process.

Not sure how much $$$ you are willing to part with, but one of the aftermarket fuel injection systems would be my choice - You'll get everything you need in one shot and it will be more easily tuned for later modifications. I know Edelbrock and Holley both make "universal" throttle body injection systems that replace your carburetor.


The Holley system is $1,395 at summit racing: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...LY%2D950%2D22S

Final point - At least 80% of your torque and HP come from the "inside" - cam, heads, pistons, compression ratio, etc. The fuel-delivery system is more about making those items work; i.e. driveability.

Just my 2cents
