the 460 has lots of torque for pulling and hp, but the old ones for sure are gas guzzlers. the 351 is better for city driving due to it uses less gas. if gas wasn't so expsive up here id run a 460 in my ford

Duck Hunter, Count the bolts that hold down one of the valve covers. Going from memory (help me out if I'm wrong) 6 bolts is a Windsor, 8 bolts is an 'M'.
You might consider having your engine machinist put a stroker crank into the 351. There's a common and cheap stroker that will get you a 393 using stock rods and 302 pistons. Scat Crankshafts is one source.
For double the money, you can get a 408 stroker kit.
Best regards,
