Building a 460 Stroker
I have a 1970 429 motor and want to build a Hi-Po engine to install in a 1957 Ford truck. What would be the right combination of block, crank and heads? I heard that a 460 Stroker is the kind and that it would use the 429 block and heads and a 460 crank. Is this correct? What other problems might come up if this is the way I should go. Might want to add an 8-71 blower to the system just to get out the driveway a little quicker. Let me know if you have any ideas or input on the best way to get what I want ( maybe a 700hp+ screamer).

What...no tech?
Oops...they told me to post here first...should have read the board before I posted I guess...then I would have seen "NO TECH QUESTIONS ON THIS BOARD" and tried to hold back on the aching questions that are taking up the front part of my brain. So at least now you'all know what project I'm up to. Hoping to learn more and enjoy posts on these forums. Now I'm off to find the tech board. Bye

700 HP+, thats pretty much a bolt together, and easy thing to get. Get a set of the new Kasse/FMS SCJ heads, do a 4.3 Scatt 9000 stroker with a good piston and a set of Eagle H-Beam rods. Polish the ex ports, get a Pro-Systems 4150, use a solid roller with about .750 lift and 290°-300°. I would use electric water pump (Mazier), a windage tray, and a set of Jessel rockers to live over that cam for extended use. This should hand you 800-900 HP naturally with one carb. Almost forgot, bush the lifter bores and restrict oil to the top end and cam and go to roller cam bearings.
