Thanks for the info. Guess I'm just trying to decide where to start. Looks to me like original carb. on this 460. Looks like a 4 barrel Holly to me but have not checked any numbers.Wonder if I should rebuild this one or get one of them new fangled things.The 460 uses no oil but I haven't tested compression yet.I have heard timing chain should be replaced at around 100,000. Anything to that?And if so sounds like there are better options than original. Also have been thinking about headers, but it sounds like a lot of pro's and con's either way. Looks like it had dual exausts of some sort some time or another.Also trying to decide what size pipes to use. Would just dual exaust with orinal manifolds do much? Enough for now, good site,keep that good work going. Jerry P
