Not sure what posts you've been reading, but ALL 460s from '68 to '97 have a 1.73:1 ratio from the factory.

Pat, thanks for the reply. I've read over fifty pages here and in the BB 385 fourm in the last week, everything I could find on the 460. Guess after while it starts to run together.

I have a '88 F250 with a 460 I've had bored .40 over, with the new pistons and a little milled off the heads i should have 9-1 + CR, a Comp Cam, and duals that dump just in front the rear axle..... just looking for anything else I can do without going broke in in process!
