@tomnekuda3818 4 года назад

@@Tsalinger Agreed. Depends on how much power you want to push thru them.....even at that some guys are making good horsepower. There is always the CJ and SCJ blocks in both the 385 series and the FE's. I was building for towing and warmed-up street use. Wonder how far these birds will end up pushing this thing. I'm 73 and a lot of my building days are coming to an end. Dollar for dollar it is hard to pass up the BBC's for strength and power.. Only weakness that shows itself is the heavy valve train if you are really going to wind 'em up....but there are cures for that problem. I fell into a deal 40+ years ago and got a couple of 427 side-oiler Fords on the cheap. Talk about a stout bottom end, forged and cross-bolted. Had a lot of fun with them. Thanks for the comeback.....what are you building? Working on a little 302 Ford now. Have built SBC's and you cannot go wrong there. Had a 440 Mopar in my RoadRunner back in the day....a real thrill. The drivetrain doesn't know what the name on the engine is.....it just knows horsepower! Lemme know what your up to chief! Again, nice to hear from you. Keep the Faith

598 cubic inches is the max bore and stroke on most 460s before you have to notch the oil pan rails. Also Jon Kaase SR-71 heads and intake are yielding upwards of 1100hp naturally aspirated now. and that was on a 545 BBF I believe

@Parents_of_Twins 3 года назад

My Dad knew some guys who somehow managed to cross the rods when rebuilding a 440. Apparently the starter wouldn't even budge it. They drug it up and down the road in front of their place and actually managed to get it started. I guess it ran for about 10 minutes which I thought was pretty damn impressive. considering. I guess they used a crow bar to force the one rod over. Not sure if it windowed the block or not, I wouldn't imagine it was much good even if it didn't. Pat saying "If it's tight something not right" made me think of these guys who obviously didn't live by that motto of engine assembly.

A Ford 460 is not "maxed out" at 557 cid. Many articles have been published of 460s turning into 598s or 602s. And that's with the standard 4.90" bore spacing. In fact, pro stock drivers with Chevys or MoPars often used to complain that Fords had an unfair advantage because they were at 4.90 vs 4.84 or 4.80 that others were "stuck" with. Which is why now everybody is equalized at a 5.0" bore spacing.

The 440 Magnum doesn't wear a girdle. lol Unlike Ford's & Chevy's BB's Chrysler's BB's have a raised block to support the heavy rotating assembly. IE: crank shaft. The 426 Hemi BB adds to the raised block with cross bolt mains. Again for more support on the rotating assembly. I have no doubt that is how the Hemi became a racing legend. Bone stock Chrysler big block Hemi's straight from the junkyard ran on Nitro fuel at the race track.

People laugh when I say I had a Chevy 406 2 bolt mains block holding 620 NA Horse reliability, raced on the weekends and driven on the streets, it held up without any issues to an impressive 150HP shot of nitrous as well on both streets and track! With the time taken and care to details and the important things like deburring the blocks it is entirely possible to have a reliable 1000HP stock block engine! I finally had a lean condition cause a top ring seizure when I tried pushing it to a 250 shot of nitrous which unfortunately after a long life was the demise of baby! The top ring was a hair too tight on clearance from thermo expansion which caused a chunk of the piston land to crack off and be pushed through my very expensive Cantfeild head! Bent a rod and cracked the bore. Unfortunately the crack was too long protruding just to the webbing of the block and sadly couldn't safely be saved, unless it was run on strictly methanol and water jackets were hard blocked to seal them from any oil leakage into the water jackets....... But the fact of my story is if that ring never seized and broke the TRW forged piston, it probably still be racing today! I had H beam rods on a cast STOCK 400 crank 010 under a stock 2 bolt block and sadly the parts to give out on me because of something self inflicted were the "Performance" part due to adding much more power than they were ever designed to handle! BUT like I said, I have the last laugh, it pulled a very low 10 second pass 2 times prior to that piston saying goodbye on me on its way into the high 9s before I got it fully tuned in! But the fact of the matter is, please don't ever put a stock chunk of cast iron down even if it's only a mere 2 bolt mains! Of anything back then I ever expected to break like that stock cast crank or mains caps! It was pulling over 800hp but a little lean condition put it in an early grave. Otherwise great Build guy's! Nice to see people having some faith with some old Iron! Thanks!

SVO makes a 600 shortblock. I don't know why they didn't start with that?¿

I have been trying to get ahold of Hagerty Red Line rebuild no luck. PN what you do to engine's can be done to all engine's rings, pistons,crank, valves, porting and polishing.all that can be done to any engine.

Uncertain. Wait a minute, I got 600 CID out of my old 385... Granted, performance heads, a little boring, sleeveing, head-grinding and some-odd material removal here and there went into it, but that’s a HUGE difference from what you guys achieved. Honest. Granted, I often referred to it as a 580 stroker because that’s the stroker kit I put in there, but not including the BDS Blower I stacked on top I was pushing a naturally-aspirated 600 CID exactly. But it’s still way off of 557.

@rickjames6948 2 года назад

What about the A-460 or similar block that you would HAVE to have to get over a 557? BDS blower........ Yup you are blowing all right LOL. 🤣🙃

Another great vid, guys. I always chuckle, however, when people use ARP oil pan hardware XD

@@bigboreracing356 I just run a thick ass bead of RTV sealant around the flange, and hold it all together with a ratchet strap. I don't even bother with hardware anymore.

i’d bolt that motor together inside and out with Pro-Series ARP Bolts to make sure it stays together and doesn’t ‘grenade’ under power

@flyingdutchman4794 2 года назад

This probably is an odd question... but, are there cylinder liner kits to reduce the bore of a 460 back to the 4.05" of the 370? Then, adding a 4.50" stroker kit, you'd end up with an engine of ~464 in^3, with undersquare dimensions? I ask because my 460 is in a 1996 F-250 pickup and I'm looking for improved low-end grunt, and with the right cam, a friction-reducing valvetrain, some polishing/porting, an MSD ignition, and good tuning should give a nice flat torque curve peaking at ca. 500 ft/# at 1500-2000 rpm, and top out around 330hp at 4800 or so.
