[QUOTE="henticules, post: 6774032, member: 621275"] Wow Rick. I've had a few old black & white myself, but this is a whole new level of BAD@$$. I hope you can continue with it. Here's my 2 cents on the motor; It is my understanding that the big block 429/460 motors are almost identical in width and very close in length and height. If your state or county doesn't require an inspection or annual emissions check this might be viable (in Cali, NY, PA, Michigan and parts of Ohio this will be hard, EPA laws dictate that if an engine is swapped it most be the same model year or newer than the vehicle getting it, and it needs to use all of the emissions equipment - e.g. you will need a 2000 or newer engine to be legal). But hopefully you live somewhere you can skirt these "rules". The advantages to the big block are ridiculous torque and HP, very cheap and a huge selection of performance parts. Disadvantages are it weighs a lot and will probably need rebuilt. The 460 (7.5L) can be found in different stages of evolution in the F series trucks all the way up to 96'/97' and some of the OLD lincoln and ford cars too. Keep up the awesome work!! [/QUOTE]
