Ford marked Alum 460 (A96) block on racing junk
These are tough to come by so I figured I throw it out there.
Aluminum Block-BB Ford 460 for Sale in DES MOINES, IA | RacingJunk Classifieds It is a big bore block but it could be cool with a short stroke, a long rod and a set of P-51s in a Cobra!! Jason |
Mouth watering, are you considering it?
Mike |
No, have two already! lol........ok maybe im thinking about it.....No, no im not.....
Jason |
Jason, I understand that feeling with pieces like these. A 4.7 bore with 3.85 stroke produces a nice number always wondered how 533 inches would pull the Cobra around. Besides it being aluminum would this block be a direct replacement for an iron block? Would the Ford Motorsport A-429 heads work on that bore? Finally what is the significance of the Roberts Design water block?
Mike |
A 4.700" bore with a 4.500", 4.600", or 4.700" stroke would produce an even nicer number. :)

Those P51 heads are awesome, my motors only is 505 inches and made 800 plus hp in my 73 mustang, that pig weighs almost 4000 pounds and runs mid 9s in quarter mile
|
ohh man... is that a good price? No idea. I'd love to take all that iron off the front end of mine.
|
Decent price if it's really in good shape. Only 145 lbs! The 385 series motors are not nearly as pretty as an FE (IMHO), but you can't argue with 600+ cubes and a pair of P51's. Hate to admit it, but even without getting too crazy with exotic parts, it would send most FE's running home to their mommies!
I'll keep my FE though... |
Mike,
i don't know if they are exact, but all of the standard 460 components bolt on Yes A429s would bolt on, but would limit the power potential at 500+ ci Brent, 625, 638, 652ci lol respectively I consider myself a gluten for punishment. But I think managing 850-950 ftlbs of torque in a cobra (on street tires!) would be...challenging at best. |
For conversation sake let's take away some stoke and
raise the operating rpm a little 4.700 bore Micro spherical dish piston @13-1 (I'll bet it would run on 91-93 octane) 3.750 stroke (520 CI) steel/billet crank 7.200 BME forged alum rod (1.92 r/s ratio) Ported P51s (400+ cfm) Titanium valves and retainers with Beehive springs .937 Keyway lifters Cam it to make peak torque at 5800-6k And spin the thing up to 8500-8750rpm 325 drag radial and a 4.30ish rear gear That would make an amazing cobra! Jason |
You sure know how to say it. Cannot imagine the sound that thing would be making as it spins past 8k. With that setup drag radials would be a must have for this cat. Might give this gentleman a call today.
We have so much snow on the ground now and it is still coming, it will be May or June before it is all out of here. Mike |
Yea I think it would make a hellofalot of wonderful noise! lol
Snow? That's that cold white stuff right? It was a chilly 65 f when I left this morning. I did bring a light jacket just in case.....the A/C was set too low again........ |
Yes this year especially cold, all the snow that has fallen since it started is still piling up no melting. It got up to 26 degrees yesterday felt almost spring like. We love it spring will be special this year. The A/C was set too low again, Good One what is A/C.
|
A/C= always cold......
|
Tried calling the number posted on Racing Junk no luck will try again today.
|
Sweet!!
I hope it works out. It will be a fun build. Jason |
