    Richard is right, I forgot all about that retarded timing chain setup. That could be one major contributor, along with some other components not working well together (cam, stall speed, high gear ratio). 460's ae generally torque monsters, so something isn't letting it do it's thing. Get those cam specs if you can, it will help.

    I know what changing the timing set did for a '76 F250/460. It took a California spec truck that was a major dog into another performance world. Of course two grocery bags of CA. required pollution control crap went with it as well. A 780 cfm 3310 Holley helped a wee bit too
