My truck is a 95 so I am looking at the last of the Big Blocks produced. Manufactured in 12 of 95 so I am really talking about one of the lasr made.

You went the route with someone else doing the work, I am not. I will do the rebuild myself. I have rebuilt a few engines before, but not a 460. Some things are the same, some are not.
What I hope to find is some good info on where I can get good parts at a good price and what I can do to improve on the motor that I have. I don't want to go real wild, but I don't want just factory either.

i can get factory parts all day. But I need some ideas of what can be done to what I have that wil improve performance, give me more hp and not too much sacrifice at the gas pump.

Fot this I need help. I am only getting about 10 mpg as it is now. I figure that if I can increase hp without a big loss of gas mileage, well, I'm doing good.

I don't know this motor well enough to build something like this. AN LS1 different story. I know that motor pretty well. and I know where to get more info when I need it.

My basic plan is this
Start with the intake and get more air in such as K&N filter and maybe a better intake system. An RPM intake for Fuel injected motor and larger injectors.
more psi.) New cam, pistons, pushrods maybe going to a roller system (not sure yet.) Redoing the heads, valves, seats, seals etc. New bearings and not sure what to do with the crank, maybe just a balancing and polish, depends maybe I can get a better deal buying something rather than working with what I have. A double timing chain for sure, larger water pump and headers and a true dual exhaust. Of course, I plan on a new oil pump and probably a larger pan for oil. Maybe a 10 quart system. I'm not sure what to do with the cam at all.....

Just guessing, I would say I am looking to hit around 475 to 500 hp at the flywheel and possibly 400 to 425 rwhp.

I may need to change the computer for all this as well I am assuming I wil need a better distributor and a better starting system as well. This truck is my daily driver and I want to use it to get to the drag track pulling my car. But there is no law saying I can't have a great sounding truck to pull it with and one that will be a little surprize as well.

My car is stock looking. but I have a few surprizes under the hood and out the exhaust I have an '02 TA. Soon to be running low !!'s, but that is for another forum.

I don't want to drop alot of money in this motor, but I would like to get away with less than a grand or two.

What do ya think guys can I do this? Or am I dreaming?

Thanks
