cycleguy55 to be clear: the 500-inch engine I suggested in my post above would be a "very nice tame driver," and absolutely "will meet the needs" as I myself stated. The 460 could be, too, depending on the exact needs (ie, the 460 would still idle below 1000 rpm, for example).
It was not my intention to specifically delete that particular portion of sentence from your post. On the contrary my intention was to streamline the quote down to the matter at hand and provide the relative anecdotal advice, that's all.
The engine's would indeed be "nice tame drivers," specifically tailored for good idle, great low end throttle response, and an excellent overall broad power band.
