Some photo's would be great.

If I could get the power of the 460/514/521/557 etc, with a FE for about the same price, it would not be an issue, FE all the way. I'm doing a lot of research and trying hard, to get more power than I had with my 428, 500 HP at the crank. Like I've mentioned in other threads, I'm a retired sprint car racer so I need more power.

When Brian owned Lone Star he told me that the turkey pan will hit the hood, and I was pissed, asking why ? Crazy, so I'm concerned with a 460. I wish somebody had the plastic 460 clone to mock it up then send it back.to hime, hell I can't find a used cheap 460 locally to mock it up.

This is only as one example of the power vs cost, I don't see how a FE can come close ?

The dyno numbers may not be real honest but.....
