I have a friend who went from a 400 to a 460. Noticable weight increase, all else (except cooling at times) OK.
What motor do you have now?
Maybe you could improve on it.
Go here for ideas....

I went from a 400 to a 429 in a 76 Ranchero.Never really noticed the weight gain but really noticed the torque gain.And got better mileage than my 75 Ranchero with 351M.I am presently rebuilding the 76.I did the crank and piston swap plus a 30 over bore makes it a 466.Can't wait to fire it up.

One thing nobody has touched on, is the cost!! You can do whatever you want with MONEY! The only thing that bothers me are the cubic inches of 454 in a FORD, even if it is a FORD motor producing it. Just something sacreligeous about those numbers in a FORD. I built a hefty 351W and spent about 3-Grand on it. We are not talking about heads and all that, just machine work and all the little crap involved like pistons, valves, intake, headers, etc, etc! Good luck with what ever you decide.

I would tend to agree with you ALSAIR, 454 is a number far too well known in "other" automotive circles to be boasting about it in your Ford. Too easily misunderstood as some "other" product pushing your Ford around. Don't get me wrong, I think the idea of dropping a stroked high performance mill into your truck is a fabulous idea if you can afford to do it.
