Unique w/ 460? Opinions?
I am contemplating my engine like so many others have. At first I was set on a small block for agility reasons, stroked 351. Of course now I have been persuaded toward a big block and more specifically a 460.
The kit is going to be a Unique, and the tranny will be a toploader.
I have had the pleasure of driving an Everett-Morrison w/ a well built 355 and also a Unique w/ a Southern 390. I was impressed w/both, but after driving the Unique I am leaning towards big block.
My reasons:
I want to build the engine myself, I want reliability, and I want torque. I will most likely never race it, but may bring it to the drag just to see what it and I are made of.
I can't build a hi-po engine (stroked 351) since I am unexperienced, so I am leaning toward a mild 460 build that will net solid torque and hp numbers.
So, to make a long story short, does anyone have a Unique w/ a 460 or anyone driven a Unique w/ a 460 that would be willing to give me some insight on the vehicle? Or even your opinion of this set-up.
If there isn't too much respone here, I may post this on the Unique board, but I figured there is a fairly large gathering here.
Thanks for your time.
