Anthony:
There are many "new" 429/460 blocks from Ford racing and other manufacturers that are vastly superiour to the original 429/460 blocks. My disscussion was not about comparing a "stock" purpose built "original" 427 engine to a "stock" 460 engine out of a pickup or lincoln. My comments are simple, I can have a more dependable, more powerful 460 engine built for way less. For equal money, I could have a 1,000 horsepower all aluminum 500+ c.i. (460 "stroker" engine) for the price of a 550 horsepower 427 S.O. engine. If you were to go with a 700 horsepower all aluminum 427 engine, for the same price I could get a 1,600 horsepower all aluminum "gold plated" 600 - 800 c.i. 460 "stroker" engine.
