Its about time!

After a lot of back and forth I have the engine combo nailed down.

Leaves me plenty of room to grow in the future.

Its almost time for me to finally assemble the 460 for my F100.

Heres the engine specs.

For now this is what my engine will consist of

D1VE block out of a Lincoln.

Stock bottom end

Cam 204/214 @ 050, 262/272 adv. 479/504 lift

Valve springs Ford Racing M-6513-A50

Factory rockers

Factory retainers

Headers 1 3/4" primaries

Magnaflow mufflers

Intake factory with autolite spreadbore to holley adapter

Carb Holley 3310 750 cfm

D3VE heads with smog bumps ground down

Roller timing set. Cam timing "straight up"

New rings and bearings.

New oil pump. Stock volume.

Distributor...up in the air...I do have a points one here now for a 429.

Should be good for torque.

Just need a gasket set and to buy the valve springs.

Only other big ticket item I need right now is a radiator. Then all the little crap like spark plugs, wires, hoses etc.

Got the block back from the machine shop today.

Good deal! Now get started putting that baby together!

I have a like new 79 F150 truck radiator if you are interested.

If you can come across a used, stock, Duraspark distributor...you can swap the gutz to your points distributor...in about 10 minutes.

Looks good Tim!

Tim I think I may have a 302 dizzy out in the barn you could take the insides out and put it in yours it is a duraspark if you need it let me know I will send it to you for the shipping.

What do you guys think my build will do?

Is there some benefit to doing this other than appearance?

Sounds great, if this is a street engine then you might want to think about advancing the cam 2 degree's. It isn't enough to drop the rpm range, but it will add some torque and horsepower to it. Nice combination, it will run like a champ.

Longroof, the advantage is that you can use any set of gutz in your housing, as long as it comes from an 8 cylinder distributor.
