Question Got a question....

I have came across a 460 and trany for my bronco. How much modification would it take to put the 460 in place of the 351? Gas mileage really isn't an issue thats why I am even considering putting a 460 in place of it. Not to mention the 351 only gets about 7 to 8 mpg anyways. Oh and how much more does the 460 weigh? I figure quit a bit, but I already have front leveling springs on it so I figure worst case scenerio is the front will be back down to about stock.

I did do a search but all the results were a few years old so I thought wth lets bring it up again. I'm kinda having a change of heart now. I may try and find a fuel injected 351 or 300 to put in it if I can find one cheap enough. A motor swap really isnt in the near future. I am probably going to use this one till it dies. My dad has built a HHO generator that we are going to put on it to see what happens, so if anything goes wrong its not a big deal.

i would find a donor truck that is totalled if you wish to go efi. this will make the swap very easy.
