D5xx-a2a
Is there anything good / bad about D5xx-A2A 460 heads? The story goes I looked at a guys place in a used items for sale paper up here and he had a 460 apearantly out of a 77 lincoln. The story I was told was that they were installing that motor into a demolition car and had a "mechanic" buddy helping. the guy wired the firing order like a chebby... they went to ignite it and bang! so who knows what dammage etc... I can take the entire motor for 50 - 75 bucks..... just curious wanting to build a good reliable 460 for my 65F100....

Well the major problem I can think of with D5 heads is they don't exist. Most likely there are D3VE heads which were used from 1973 thru 1986 and there is nothing wrong with them that a little port work won't fix, there are the larger chamber 95cc nominal so it's a lot easier to get a compression ratio that will work on regular pump gas, yet with flat top pistons you can get pretty high comp ratios too, they flow about as good as any other BBF passenger car, non cj, non PI head.

I will have to double check that casting again... it was hard to read and the motor was inside a storage unit almost like a garbage dumpster..... I thought it said D5 but I could be mistaken... assume D3 then I can get a set of virgin pistons from a DOVE-C lincoln motor for free I believe it was an original 10.5:1 engine we rebuilt and had to go +.020 would those postons yield a decent compression ratio? I can get those for 0.....buddy will give them to me.
