Thanks David,

the reason is: I have a 428 in Germany, but 460s are plenty in South Africa.
I called the SPF dealer in JNB and he recommended installing a 460.
Now that I am very concered about weight (I know, a lot f you would advise me to install a 351 instead) I try to figure the weight gain of a 460 with aluminum heads compared to a 428 with aluminum heads.

While we are at it: could a 351 be stroked to 427?
Now, THAT engine I had to order in the US, I am sure.
At least the crank and pistons / rods.

I know I could have searched the forum but that take a while - as does searching in my old (PC) data with my new Mac.

The internet cafe is fast enough, but the Mac at home isn't.

Dominik
