New 460 engine build
I just talked to the engine builder and he said that my 460 had 3 broken rods and 2 broken pistons. He believes that the failure occurred in the piston which caused a chain reaction that I never want to witness again . This time I will be using H-Beam rods and forged pistons. He will be doing some porting, a custom cam and 950 HP carb to top it off. He says it will produce more then 550HP on the dyno and will be very kind on the street. I should have it ready to drop in the end of June. I will advise for a engine party .
