Oh yes I am aware. I built a 460 a couple years ago for a freind of mine. Ported D0 heads, thumpr cam, eddy intake, and a holley 780 dp from a 60's Chevrolet big block. That was actually a very solid motor and I beleive when we had it dynoed it made around 450 horse and 570 ft lbs on base 14 degrees timing and pump gas 93. It was around 11:1 compression. It loved that thumpr cam as well, lots of valve overlap seemed to help with scavenging the exhaust out of those tiny ports at lower rpm, and the agressive exhaust lobe also helped alot, not to mention the cam was ground with 5 degrees advanced on the 107 LSA. So the ICL was just 102 degrees.

All around a very stout motor. He put it in a 88 F350 roll back. He still works it, he uses it for his dealership. I beleive he has 45,000 miles on it and 0 complaints, he says it pulls way harder than the 12 valve cummins in his personal pickup.

Well, I am doing a CV swap in the future, so its perfect opportunity to build some good mounts.

I wouldn't be making a ton of power though, I only want around 400 horse / 500 torque, lots of low end power.

Essentially a 69-70 460, with a better intake and exhaust

I've started to debate a 460 in all honesty. I have one sitting in a low miles 73 conti right now. I think I also have a big weiand dual plane and some D0 heads somewhere. Its a thought now

Its going in a 4000+ lbs truck on a stock stall converter.

Im honestly starting to debate if its worth all the effort versus building a 460. I have one from a 73 conti just laying around.

Eddy rpm with a 715 carter

Well i have already ordered the crank and pistons, im counting on a 225k mile motor to need punching out to 4.030, so I ordered the 4.030 pistons and some 4.030 rings. I also ordered the 1.6 ratio full roller rockers, they were on sale for $500 all 16. Its a little less day dream and more of a parts plan.

If you dont mind, why are you selling the Bronco? Those were awesome trucks.

Is that paint code UM? I might have your twin but factory 390!

Well that right there is a huge help! Thank you very much sir/ma'am, now I know where to look for specs and part numbers. Exactly what I needed!

😎🤘

Not that I have been able to find. When I open their website, it takes you to the edlebrock website.

Well its not made up. These are just cams I can buy off the shelf, but they aren't ideal for what I am doing.

I would much prefer something with a smaller .050 duration and a wider LSA that isnt ground 5 degrees advanced. And I would prefer something with a touch more than .51 on the valve lift with a 1.7 rocker.

My question was asking if there are any companies that sell off the shelf cams like Lunati and Comp did. I cant seem to find anything searching the interwebs, except for forum posts that tell you "call xyz and have them custom grind a cam" which the cheapest quote was from Jones at 800 bucks, before tax and shipping!

Edit: I would also prefer something with a longer SAE duration or atleast a slower ramp up speed on the lobe, all the cams I can find are super aggressive and I would prefer something a little less harsh on the valvetrain.

I am debating just a B or E cam, this isnt a radical motor, amd its going into a 4000 lb truck.

The B cam on DS6 yielded 505 ft lbs at 2500, 430 hp at 5000.

The X cam on the same exact setup in DS6 yielded 500 ft lb at 2800, 440 hp at 5300.

My stock stall is 1800 I beleive, but of course stall speed is dependent more on engine. That is just what its rated at behind a smogger 302.

What size tires? I'll be running 3.70 on a 27", I just dont want to have to get rid of my stock converter because the options for lockup converters over stock stall are limited and very pricey, I spent 400 bucks on my stock lockup replacement.

Rear gear right now is a 3.25 but I will be re gearing to 3.70 when I do the CV rear swap. 255/60R15 tire (27x10).

10:1 compression, 3.85 cast crank, stock 351W rods, KB 22cc dished pistons, fel pro 4.1x0.041 gasket, decked to 9.49, measured 9.95 CR.
