Was a 1963 Ford Unibody pickup. I built a 383 chevy stroker and put it in, with a 350 turbo trans. Also, I replaced solid front axle with Camaro front clip. With a 3.89 rear end, it would boil the big rear wheels thru 2nd gear.

I knew a LOT more about Chevy SB than any Ford motor.

With the oversquare bore (4.360 with 3.85 stroke), the Ford 460 reminded me of a larger version of the fast-revving 327. So that is what I built for the Cobra.

I think the 460 has some advantages over the BBC - better rod ratio, bigger bore, better stock iron heads (not that anyone uses them). After all, Ford all but admits copying the BBC, so they might feel they did some things better.

OK BBC fans, just my opinion.
