If your ever up for making a inexpensive set of 427 SOHC cammer heads I'll be first in line.

Ford is not casting these blocks anymore and you cannot get one from them either as most are already gone........no more 460 crate motors.........from ford.

Correct, 429/460 blocks have not been cast for years. Ford has been offering the crate motors using overbored, used, refurbished blocks. And at the current moment, they can't seem to even get used blocks that they're happy with. I dunno what's up, but I have about 30 blocks that I think could help them out and I'd still be sitting pretty in the block department, but they arent' showing much interest in what I have.

I heard they may have some crate mtoors again next year. How they intend make it happen (based on what I've heard) made my jaw drop.

Wow I did not know that. They are still in the 07 FMS catalog for this year. You have to wonder why they are dropping these?? Maybe making way for the "mods" of the future? Funny how some call these 4.6's "the cammers" which in theory they are. I just think of something different tho.

Yep ......................some one mentioned hurricane as the name of the new bbf.
