Thats kind of what I was thinking.....3 cams and crank...probably all in the same block. Check the lifter bores and line bore the block. Taking out the crank...thats a problem I would really look into. Need to check the crank centerline as well. Just to make sure its not off.

I have a 460 for sale. 4 bolt main block, stock football rods, TRW flat tops,high 600's or low 700's solid lift flat tappet(dont remember the lift). c9 or c8 heads...would have to look to make sure...pre smog though I know that much. Offenhauser spreadbore intake...no carb or distributor with motor.

Motor has about 20 to 25 passes since it was built. Broke a tranny and bent the chassis on the dragster so we quit racing. Motor has been sitting ever since.
