Thanks for your response Dave, I am seriously considering the 460 but have been told it's a heavy lump, what's the weight comparison to a390fe. I also own another identical Hudson truck that runs a 302ci which my son, still only 15 seems to have laid claim to so hence the second truck. Then we all say 'If I did it again I'd do this'nthat differently well I guess this time I can and bigger being better 'n all. And hopefully my son will be another youngblood entering this world of old cars, he's worried now that when it comes to driving test time he's first gotta learn how to drive a RHD car! ahh the joys of youth.
