To get you started:

From what I been "picking up" the 460 seems to be wider and taller than a 427\428\429 style motor. Making it more "problematic" when it comes to shoe horning one in under the hood.

Also, some "kits" are more adept at accepting some engines than others are. For instance JBL will NOT accept a big block, they are designed for a small block (hey, that works for me)! So engine choice AND kit choice have to go hand in hand.

But the BB vs SB debate is a HOTLY contested issue and is covered IN DEPTH in various threads. Gonna put my helmet on now, there may be "in coming".........
