460 Torque Numbers
can anyone run a desktop dyno?
i've got a 76 460 with stock crank stock rods, bored .30 over
sealed power h535cp.30 pistons
D3VE Heads, no porting done, milled .15thousands to clean up
stock valves
compression should be 9.2-9.5
Edelbrock Rpm Intake
Stock Exhaust Manifolds/Possibly thinking headers, but $425-525 is alot
Holley 670 Street Avenger Carb
MSD Dist, 8580 no vac adv.
MSD Igniton 6al, msd coil
Cloyes older timing gear set, straight up timing
all new stuff, never been started. just wondering what it could/should make? looking for 500 ft. lbs torque. hoping
thanks

You can get a good set of headers through Summit for aroud $170.00. I think mine are Hookers for a 2 wheel drive 74-80 ( not absolutely positive about years covered) with automatic. I gave around $170.00 for them and they work great. Use the aluminum gaskets on the heads and the collectors and you wont have to worry about leaks.

is your truck a 4x4 with a 460? i've heard rumors that you could use the 2wd headers, but i never saw them actually used. mine is 78 f250 4x4 with d44 fa
and darinn1999 did u use desktop dyno? cause in the edlebrock catalog they had a stock 460 with 8.5 comp, which is stock, their cam, their intake, and 1 3/4 headers and it had around 460-465 ft. lbs torque at 2500, theres no way that i cannot have those same numbers with a better timing chain and all new stuff, i should have more due to increased compression also, but i dont have the program either. thanks for the help
