460 how much horsepower?
I have bin very busy working on my baby,Iam trying to get her out by spring of 08. I haven't take any recent picture, but I can tell you the 460 I stuffed up her skert sounds great. I am trying to figure out how much horse I am dealing with I have a 460 with new stock crank ,rods and pistons. 30 over,high volume oil pump,late 60's 429 heads fully machined 3 angle valve job ,valve guides springs etc... comp cam roller rockers 1.7 ,mild comp cam, edlebrock proformer intake and a edlebrock 750 carb.

Vincent,
On the heads you say they are machined, are they ported to remove the exhaust "bump" that is pretty restrictive? or just the 3 angle valve job. Its hard to tell from the information but guestimating you should be in the area of 450-475 hp with 500+ lbs torque. Mike |
The 460 in the Merc has the following specs; bored .060, ported 72 Lincoln heads, 3 angle valve job, line bored and decked.020, flat top hyperutectic pistons,ballanced,comp cams 270h cam kit,standard oil pump (75# cold @ 2000 and 60# hot @ 2000),Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock 750 carb,2"primary tube 3.5" collector hedders, 2.5" exhaust into flow masters,it has approx 9.75 to 1 compression and runs great on 93 octane pump gas, oh the ignition is stock Ford with a Mallory box. The Dyno 2000 program shows 475-490hp and 525-550 ft lbs torque. I hope this helps.. Carl

Remember, that's horsepower potential, not actual. If that motor is not tuned properly you could be off by 75+ hp. Parts mean nothing if they are not matched and tuned properly.
And get rid of that edelbrock... Roscoe |
Vincent,
Sounds very similar to mine. Same car. What ever horsepower it is, it a handful. My car is fast, loud an runs like a scolded dog. Trust me, it won't matter what the numbers are, your going to have a blast. Mike |
Thanks
Thank For The Info, Nice To See Someone Else Has The Same Setup And Its Working Out. I Can't Wait To Take Her Out

Your Car Is One Of The First Buildups I Tracked,she Looks Great
|
I'm with Roscoe. Get rid of the Edelbrock! You will most likely see a upgrade in performance just from that alone.
