460 pistons
sure. all of the older motors can with flat tops, that's how they got the 10:5.1,, and 11:1.1 compression ratios. i've taken several of these old motors apart to find flat tops. even the 1972 429 i took apart had flat tops. C.J.

T-bolt, have you called Ron Miller at Ford Power Parts? His guys used to sell a flat top (no bathtub dish!) pistons for the 460. I believe he used TRW very dished 429 slugs and cut the tops flat. His shop makes all sorts of custom pistons for Fords, using TRW forgings as a starting point. FPP made my 060 over 410 pistons from L2291Fs, which are supposed to be for a 390. Doesn't Kieth Black offer some 460 flat tops too, in hypereutechtic? DF
