hello I stumbled on this sight while looking for info on 460 engines and have a chance to get a 460 with tranne out of a 78 continental is this engine worth building up? where there different type blocks with this size and year? or where they all the same about all I know ahead swap would be in order. I got a 70gt torino with a 351c and thinking 460 for this car. would this be the one to go for? thanks in advance

Last year I built a nice 460 that I put into my 63 Merc and I got all the swap stuff from Crites Restorations in Ohio, they have mounts,hedders and lots of special items for Ford swaps.

What model Merc? I have a 63 Merc Comet that I'd like to fit a 460 into, and know that there'll have to be some serious shock tower surgery, and likely also some steering/suspension conversion work also.

Got any pics?

Thanks,

Craig
