Thread: 460 Build up for 36 Ford

Tweet

I am new to the forums and this is my first post.

My current project is a 36 Ford pickup. I have purchased a 460 BB and C6 Trans out of a 72' Lincoln with 76k original miles.

Here is what I have learned about it so far: The block is a D1VE A2B which means its a 71' block, and the heads are D3vE A2A which are the emissions heads, and the Crank is a 2Y AB which means it is a 460 crank. Correct me if my information is incorrect.

I am wanting to build a motor that will put out between 400-450hp at the crank.

I want to use the same crank, and bore the block .10 over just for good measures.

What Rods, connecting rods, pistons, Cam, intake and carb should I use????

Should I keep my same heads I have and just port them?
Or should look into getting some D0VE heads?

If I keep the D3VE heads what needs to be done to them and what pistons do I need to increase my compression to 9.5:1?

Sorry thats alot of questions, but I need to get them answered to get

Thanks
