My old man had a 460 in his Lincoln mark 4. My comment was abrasive, so be it. I drove a SPF with a 460 monster torque, let the clutch out and rpm wouldn't even dip. Ignorant is true, I was told or read you can't rev high because they were built for trucks due to torque and therefore couldn't rev high and weren't designed too.

I have my rev limiter set at 6 grand and hit it way to often. If my memory serves me right, Ford sold more trucks with the 351w than the 460.

The seller has probably figured out that the Jerico is not the most street friendly transmission, and consequently the new owner will figure this out too.

12yearslater - if we're thinking that an SPF with an FE is too good to be true at $58K asking price
Superformance MkIII 427SC Cobra, Indigo Blue, For Sale

...then what say you for this little ripper (ERA 289 asking under $50K)?

Guess I was a little short with my response yesterday. Sorry, wasn't feeling very good and kind of took it out on you.

Felt much better last night after I coughted up that big fur ball.
