Well everyone, apparantly my e-mail didn't go through properly, so I'll just post everything I said in the message on here....
Ok everyone here's everything I know. First of all, I must tell you I was wrong on the number of cubes, it's a 520 stroker, not a 514.
The block is bored .030" over first of all.
The crank is either a particular one ordered from
Summit or, from what I understand, you can just grind your stock 460 crank down to 4.300" stroke.
The rods have to be (brace yourselves)big block ch*vy 6.700" long Con Rods.
Bearings are simple, Main bearing are stock 460
bearings and Rod bearings are standard big block ch*vy rod bearings.
Piston's are custom pistons that can be ordered from Summit. They are Arias forged flat top designed for the 460 bore and big block ch*vy pins.
From there on the rest of the motor is Pure and Proud Ford Motor Company parts.
I do have accurate part number's as of October of
1999. Let me know if any of you wish to have exact part numbers. Good luck with this monster big block.

Hi Rob...
I was wandering around in the message boards and noticed your reply on upping the 460 to 500+ without mods...I must admit I'm interested... I'm using a 460 from a 75 Mark IV Lincoln for my '53.
already bored 30 over and got flat top pistons and everything is balanced...I'm working on the exhaust ports with the die grinder now... give me some details if you have time... how bout a direct reply to Jniolon@uss.com... I don't get over here often..
thanks john

I had read that there was a slight difference in the deck height.
1968-70 10.300 inches
1970.5-71 10.310 inches
1972+ 10.322 inches when they killed the horses
Also a change in head chamber size to complete the slaughter.
Hope this helps, it is as acurate as I can be.
