this is some good reading on the upcoming heads i would think that if a man can make 700 hp on a set of cast heads you should easily make the numbers with these they are a step up from the tfs streets and a step down from the tfs a cactings but with the right "smoothing they can be made to flow more than the stock tfs a so with that in mind i think kasse has himself a winner

I just finished a project where we dropped a 460 into a 87 McLaren. If you are going with a fox body care you need to improve air flow through the radiator. I had a fit trying t0 figure out why it over heated so quickly. We eventually add a makeshift skirt under the car to direct the air better and she runs nice and cool now. Would also recommand using the Cobra Grill insert.

right now im not exactly sure on what im gonna drop the 460 in after its all said and done. im keepin my eye on my moms 68' stang. this is gonna be a long project because its gonna be expensive as all get up, plus im gonna be moveing around alot for a while. but i have something in mind for the 460, liiike a 557ci stroker kit plus many many extras. im gonna try to pump as much HP through this motor as humanly possible (running on pump gas and naturally asperated of course).

Your looking at about $500 for a good machine job but i strongly urge you to take it to a speedshop not a autopart machine shop for the machine work

would it be a bad idea to get a 557 stroker kit for my 460, put a good sized cam in it, semi-radical heads, and a few other go fast parts?
