I'm running the 8.2 deck height engine SBF block with 347 stroker kit.
Am very pleased; bought a prepped block & installed engine internals myself.

The block has alot of useful features, but the "handbook" is quite vague at some points.. For instance, there are 3-4 possibilities to hook up to the oil gallies- both front and rear- but no pictures or anything to show where they are located.

I'm installing a Accusump and think I will use the rear location; will have to undo the plug to check if it's the correct one...

I assume the 460 is based on a 351 Tall block SBF?

On the weight of the block; I did see some numbers... If you compare the World block with the Ford Racing "Boss" block, you will get a hint. The World Aluminium is lighter. I think it came out like this: The WP alu block is about the same as a factory block while the Ford 4- bolt Boss is heavier...

I don't remember if Ford Racing does have a tall block for comparison; they might.
