Before dropping some cash I thought it a good idea to give a quick summary of what I want to do before I spent to much money on parts that won't work well together.

I am looking into rebuilding a 460 block I have laying around in the back yard in one of the many sheds with far to many car parts and I wanted to build myself a stroker 460, sounds like fun and plus their all the rage two birds one stone right.

So I thought to get a stroker kit, heads, cam, headers, intake, carb(s),timing, and a new ignition here is my idea. No need to mention machine work as that I have a good shop for already.

$2128.00
FORD 460 TO 533 LONG ROD STROKER KIT
for the stroker kit I have done some snooping around and read some articles in a magazine where these people have made a kit that turned out beautifully.

My new choice is Jon Kaase Racing heads they are the newly designed BOSS 429/460
Jon Kaase Racing Engines - Kaase Boss Nine - Semi-Hemisperical Big Block Ford Cylinder Heads
the cost a mere $4150.00

Because I plan on use mainly off road for the truck but some street use I wanted something to try to get the best of both worlds I decided on Comp Cams and they suggested this aseome kit that includes everything

Ok so I found a kit I am happy with from weiland intake and holley carbs. Now I have an idea I want to run past yall. How do you think the great big nestalgic blower would look poking up from the hood of a lifted dent? $901.70

To go along with that i had an idea ablout using he electro magnetic hood latches and door latches to create like a cabinet door hinge type thing where the hood opens as two flaps instead of a giant bay door and would open so each door stood over the one of the front quarter panels. THen I would use the cab struts used to hold semi-truck cabs forward to hold the doors open any idea on how this might look or if you have ever seen it?


And headers were just kind of the browse and pick over at summit and this is what I decided on $749.95

Alright so I know that there is a lot there but please tell me what I got wrong and I will go out hunting again so far only abolut $5200 plus the minor amount of decking and boring for the block just remember this is for major stuff not including gaskets and the like

 

The RPM heads are for High Rev race track use

Just get the performer heads,they will be enough

 

Cool thank you that should save like 300 bucks a pop

and this is why I ask there is always someone who knows better

 

Gots them so after a long wait much cursing and breaking of digi cameras I finally got a couple pictures.
Got a couple more somewhere but I lost them on the infinite space of the internet.

and a full frontal nudity shot parents beware

 

Nice man... That stroker kit has my gears turning about replacing my 390...

Or at least building a 460 for a street truck, that's just show sexy it is, I'd build a truck around it.

Also, how much lift are you running, size tires. etc? Done anything to the gears, etc?

 

Suppoedly it has four inches of lift and now is running 37x12.5x16.5 Goodyear Military tires. I haven't done nothing too it as of now the truck is in texas I am in Germany soo it's a little hard at the moment but as soon as I get home I am going to rub all over her and make my wife jealous. And I now have the problems that inflict many poor car builders. The internet found me some brand new Boss 429/460 Heads

Only probelm is they are $4150 so theres almost the cost of my entire engine build. YAY for me though

Awesome Idea thank you

 

Man imo that is a lot of cash for something you say "Because I plan on use mainly off road for the truck and some street". Any 460 is going to move that truck fine for off roading. I know that some parts of the country wheeling is different because of the land, but around here you wheel around 5 to 15 mph or you are just going to tear off the front axle. I use my 77 F250 4x4 for towing my small trailer and my wife wants to bring half the house, it has a 69 460 in it and more power that I could ever need, but it is just to big to do many of the trails around here. I have a CJ to wheel in.

 

Yea I know it is way overdone but he have like prerunner stuff out here as well as the rocks so I will want to go fast too and money while I know this seems snobish but the money is unimportant to me I will spend it if I have to.

 

Heck, if you are just going to run dirt drop it in the green and white one on you pic. Do your dirt and have one heck of a street sleeper. It amazes me to be running down the highway in my old (some view as a pos) 77 4x4, towing my tent trailer at the speed limit and all the cars plow past me and give you that look like get it off the road, then come up to a pass and I got to laugh when I blow by them going up hill pulling a trailer. Pulled into a rest stop and a guy came over and asked me what in the heck do you have in that thing. Told him it was just stock.
