Ummm… nobody noticed them change timing twice and change springs in distributor??? 🙄🙄🙄 If A/F is correct on their graph why would they change jets? The one or two hp that you’ll gain by leaning it out might not have been worth the hassle? Just simple observations from a simple man I guess
@@isaiahwinslow5140a small block ford motor designed in 1968 is ahead of the ls let alone something with more cubes. One thing that cracks me up about chevtards is they think the ls is the best engine in the world when it's not even the best engine made by chevy. 😂
Even when they do a Ford build. They find a way to sneak in some LS junk. And My Bud who has built 100's of BBF agrees with the show. The 460 is the easiest engine to get 600HP from. He has taken many junkyard engines that cost $50.00. And made them into screamers at the track. Not that hard with a 460. And yup that $50.00 is accurate. Local u-pull it's run specials all the time on certain engines. And since the 460 was so popular in trucks their availability is almost guaranteed.
68-71 damm good blocks. 72 block needs work. I got the 73 block and did a mild build on her for my 67 Mustang Gt. Still a low compression motor but am going to rebuild it bottom end up and fix that. lol
I took a 429 out of a 1968 Thunderbird ($300) rebuilt it with a set of stock ported heads, roller cam and a Blue Thunder dual quad intake w/MSD ignition... it made 610 hp... I put into my 1940 Ford Coupe with a Ford 9" and mustang suspension.
I love my very mildly modified 1970 460 for its shear torque nobody ever expects it to run 13.30s in my 73 4 door Continental. Now that being said it just like the car weighs a ton compared to a modern engine.
It's a work horse and a tank in the broncos back in the day ..I went into a ditch layed it on the passenger side I crawled out dug down into my hub and locked it and crawled back in started it up and drove that mf out in reverse until I could get it out and upright on its own ..it took me literally 5 minutes.. faking tank ..that things probably still going .lol true story .
Gotta admit, I've been considering a Windsor a turbo 351w for my 94 flareside f150, but a straight up big block would be so easy! Got a few guys I know went the cheap 460 route, 7 second 1/8 mile for cheap! But all that weight and the parasitic drag of that honking c6! But, aluminum heads cut a good bit of the weight off and I'm not going road racing! That thing needed a MUCH bigger cam!! The old 460 has enough low end tourqe to overcome the overlap!
Funny the LS uses a Ford 302 distributor center crankshaft thrust bearing,can torque them with a Ford SB torque plate, symmetrical intake and exhaust port placement in the heads and finally got a Ford type of camshaft thrust plate.Nice the Ford SB also has a crankshaft key way. No similarities here from a LS to a 50 year old SB Ford motor. Ha Ha. 🤔
@@SealofPerfection 600hp ? That's the low range. We get double that. Many 460 over 1200 HP. Ford parts cost more because quality just like ford rear ends . They are made for power and to handle power
@@eddiespagetti8395 Not with stock heads and no power adders, you don't. And if they were so tough, why the main girdle and the high-dollar oil pump? Why use BBC rods? You can't just use off-the-shelf stuff, do a good valve job, high-comp pistons and a roller cam and make that power with one. Takes more work/money. They don't "cost more because quality". That's ludicrous. They cost more because they are more rare, because not as many people bought them when they were being made. There's a reason for that, too. You can make power with anything these days, since you can get aftermarket anything now, but when you have to use stock components, the Fords always lag behind. They're good motors, but the BBC is simply in another category
@@SealofPerfection what? You can get "DOVE" heads that came on 70' 460's that have 75cc chambers, will get you 600+hp and put you at 13.5:1 compression. This 460 was from a smog era car with 7.8:1 compression. You can't get 600hp from a 454 with the heads that came on the SS Silverado's can you? Didn't think so. Not all stock cyl heads are the same.
@@countingsheeple2428 I would certainly hope you could get 600 horsepower out of a 13.5 to 1 compression 460 cubic inch engine. And no, the 454 SS heads are peanut ports, but there are loads of 454s with oval ports that aren't, and you can certainly make over 600 horsepower and run pump gas with those. Good luck finding some of those Dove heads you're talking about.
I always get a chuckle when he slams in the distributor with the cap on like that's how its done. 😅 I spend at least 8-10 minutes getting the rotor to point at #1 and get the oil pump slot lined up
Little tip! Once you get it lined up with #1 you can rotate the engine and hold down on distributor and it will find the channel and still be lined up in the correct spot on the crank
Yeah where's the bloody knuckles and empty beer cans and the couch that the nieghbor s passed out on...come on TV make a real show....faking budget build 2000 grand..wtf..hell no..those guys don't know budget
LS is still old school pushrod engine its the pinnacle of the old design overhead cam gives you more rpm but again thats still old school cause over head cam engines have been around a long time as well.
Ya just ram the distributor into the hole! That hp holley has alot more to it than meets the eye, it had air holes drilled in the butterflies before an initial run. I do not miss these saturday morning chevy hype shows
@@throttlebottle5906 I’m glad your “pretty sure” what you said is correct, i didn’t say who drilled the holes only stated the fact that they were there. That theory of drilling them is not ever required on any street strip applications. Time and time again people come to me with BIGGER issues after drilling because the lack of air was not the problem to begin with it is always a timing issue. Put that in your bottle troll
@@throttlebottle5906 millennial imaginative fluffing lol, who said anything about them? I am gen x my friend. And racing from the bench or in your case the keyboard does not count. Just qurious
@@throttlebottle5906 what race application do you speak of and what “problem” does the drilling solve? Put your money where your mouth is post with your real name
y;all comparing LS to 385 series Ford. Up to about 500hp, the LS may be less expensive. But--you're gonna have to swap it into a non-GM vehicle, that in itself adds a bunch of expense. Once you start putting heads on them (aftermarket), then actually making some real power out of them (N/A), it becomes quite expensive. The 460 can win out. Take one out to 557", which by the way requires zero grinding/clearancing on the block, decent heads, you're at 700-900hp, easy, and the engine really doesn't really sweat it. An N/A LS based engine ain't doing that for the same money, not in my experience. They're good engines but they have their place. Main reason they're as popular as they are is because there are a gazillion of them in the junkyards. Ford used the 460's in Lincolns Mercuries and Fords. GM uses the LS-based engines in everything they make that was rear wheel drive. 2 brands of trucks, 3 or 4 brands of SUV's, 4 brands of RWD cars, etc.
Lol..right ..faking 2000 grand low budget..wtf ..guys hit 600 hp by doing everything yourself and not ordering shit from a catalog..I'm with ya .I'm poor I need a poormans recipe book for the 460 and how to do everything myself with the stuff I got or a couple key parts maybe.. junkyard..food stamp bounced check broke out of jail build ...come on guys wtf
you need to figure out the parts you want and how to ID them then start looking, swapmeets , yard sales , internet, hotrod magazines and word of mouth and I have even found parts at the garbage dump Lol ! Be a proud scavenger , you'll get what you need eventually
I am going to stop watching this stuff, these 2 Master Mechanics that assemble these engines make me sick . I have to do math and checking with dial indicators and time the cam to the correct setting AND check the cam card. These guys are the best , I just never am disappointed to the way these guys slap a engine together and it just works. Carry on to the gods of horsepower
I've heard others say the LS is just a copy of the sbf. How come Ford never figured how to make the power the LS makes? If they copied Ford, then why is the LS better in every way? Ford would have, if they could have. They didn't tho. They dropped the sbf and went Triton. Triton was better than the sbf, and the Triton sucked. Then the Coyote, and that must have sucked too, because it's been replaced. .....Hmm, All so Ford could attempt to keep up with the 23 year old LS. DREAM ON FORD FANBOY!
@@coltoncaskey5781 Yah, I've heard they're dirt cheap. I bet it's because everyone love them so much, right? I'll give you this, my grandmother loved hers, lol.
Damnit! We got blue oval contamination in here, quick, grab something LS and get it in here to decontaminate. Whew, boys, that was close. We almost had another outbreak of the blue flu 😂
fords revenge for all those 32 ford coupes gettin small block chevys stuffed into them instead of old fashioned ford flathead or other ford small blocks
@@shawnwhitman5482 i have a 2000 chevy that was the first year for the precursor of the Denali, and the block is a cast iron 6.0 ls block. I stand corrected,i ment what junkyard engine has AFTERMARKET HEADS.
Yeah I know..what the hell..build it from the junkyard .port and polish and do everything possible to get 600 from junk and free junk and just old school tricks and elbow grease and stuff ..that's what I want to see ....a dam food stamp build ..mad max shit ..2000 grand low budget..lol..I'm poor 2000 grand might as well be a million...low budget..shit .junkyard .not even close ..they suck
@@testy462 yeah ..wtf ..the first one was 2000 grand ..fak I'm poor might as well be a million.. junkyard means build that shit with junkyard parts wherever you can find them.and not through summit ..what aholes.. disappointed and not for us real low budget food stamp junkyard blown up build .....dammit ..lol
Cool Video, that's interesting, I was looking to have a Ford 460 V8 engine for a project I'm gonna do, someday, things didn't work out with a woman I was wanting to marry, so, I'll be using what I was saving to marry her, to build me a half track cargo truck that weighs as much as a semi with a welded I-beam frame & was thinking of using a Ford 460 V8 with a truck transmission for it. the 460's a good engine. I liked & subscribed by the way.
My fairlane has a 428 and it has 620 hp cheeta shift kit drag suspension upgraded cams and carburetor. A 460 done right should have zero issues producing that
@@LeachimSagrav333 Oh, bonus, the LS firing order is the same as the Ford Flathead...or some Ford derivative....so there's that. Heck, the Gen 3 Hemi has the similar design characteristics as the LS except for the valve orientation......and the new Ford 7.3 gasser is a scaled up knockoff of the LS, which in the end is a knockoff of a Ford design....so it just goes full circle.
@@LeachimSagrav333 as much as I like the Coyote....and it's an amazing engine.....too complicated...too much stuff. Bet it was a knockoff of the Mercedes M119 V8.
Money spent for that 607hp....nah.....too low. The engine could handle more cam and still be friendly to drive. Wouldn't be happy until it does 100/liter/750 hp plus the torque.
I subscribe just to tell you that these guys have no skills, no knowledge and will sell you junk you don't need! the only thing these guys can build is a promise that you will blow it up!
Agreed... ordering shit from a catalog .not low budget not junkyard.not for me ..or the average hard worker and low budget man ..2000 grand ..lol..wtf . ughhhhh.
I'm trying to do this same buil right now.. I just got the same cylinder heads.. having trouble finding that trick flow intake... and some of the other bits and pieces.. I'd like it to be as close as possible, just like episodes 2 and 3..
It's about time someone showed us how to build an LS motor to run less than the factory! Guys been crying for years on how to tune this motor- to make 300 HP, the answer is to holley it!
now we know what the jfk Lincoln Continental GG-300 car had in it ,fords racing 460 BBC for sure and 4 ton car ( with passengers ) needs a lot of hp just in case ?
