I have a good runnin 400, but its under the hood of my truck, so its not for sale. I also have an old 460, buts its far from running. I will keep my eye out for one, i see all kinds of old fords around here.

The 460 i has only run once, the time we drove it on to the trailer about 6 years ago. It is suposedly got a hot cam, ported and polished heads, ect, but i dont know. Right now its currently sitting in a 76 t-bird that i dont know what i'm going to do with.

Ace, help your self buddy. I have tried to use engines that someone else has built up before with no clue as to what was actualy in them and had nothing but head aches. All I was looking for is a rebuildable core. Be careful on something like this, you never know what your getting in to. 79-Driver, I realy apreciate the information, but it's not what I'm after.

Ace, I see now. I thought maybe I had offended you. I think I may know where the is a complete 460 with a c6 for cheap. I haven't messed with it because I just wanted a short block and I don't have a lot of room to store too many parts. I know for a fact where to find a realy strong 390. Probably 7 or 8 thousand miles on a rebuild. Rebuild was done to stock specs, but engine does have edelbrock intake and a set of headers. It probably isn't something you would want to mess with. There is also a wrecking yard just out side of waco that usualy sells complete ford carberated engines for around 3 to 400. I saw a couple of 400's and probably 5 460's last time I was there. Where are you at? any where near Waco?
