Mine is.
Bandit, I hate to tell you, but you are really running a chevy motor. Ford copied the BBC design for their 385 series motors. Same short skirt type block. Same 2 and 4 main bolt arrangements. Same canted head design, even the rocker arms are interchangeable. You can even get the Ford head with CHEVY exhaust ports. However, Ford couldn't copy everything, as obviously there are some differences. I would have thought GM would have sued Ford.
The 460 is a good motor, but the vast majority produced were passenger/truck blocks, 2 bolt mains, low performance. All 427's sold in cars were considered hign performance. All had crossbolt mains. Ever wonder that MOPAR copied Ford's crossbolt design for their 426 hemi? It must have some value. Even wonder that GM's new truck engines are deep skirt design with cross bolt mains, just the Ford 406'/427's? They must know something.
The 460 definitely has advantage's. Bigger bore spacing allowing more ci's. More and higher developed aftermarket parts. Etc.
Both can be great or poor motors. Depends who has built and what parts were used.
