THE OTHER BIG BLOCK-MILD & WILD 460 FORD

[@ronjohnson3695]

I worked for a machine shop many years ago and did a lot of port and polishing cylinder heads but one time a set of 69 429 cobra jet heads came to me they had cobra jet cast into the heads. I finished porting out the intake ports beautifully " At that time I was using a hand held die grinder" as C N C was just some bodys dream. I started grinding in the exhaust ports as any ford guy knows the exhaust ports are quite small I tried to enlarge the ports and ended up into the water jacket. My boss was furious. At that time those heads were very scarce. I ended up in some junkyard in duanesburg N.Y I've never been there in my life. I started praying for a miracle, and relieved that miracle when I found a set of 429 4bbl heads in a scrap pile. Miracles do happen. I ended up porting the " new heads on my own time and was careful in the exhaust ports. A lesson that I Learned the hard way. It still amazes me that I found replacement heads. Truthfully an answer to prayer.

[@albertgaspar627]

@@jessedeeton7434 The Modified small block deserves more love. As a typical 1970's block, it didn't always have the nickel content of earlier blocks, but a 400 cid Cleveland, geez that should send mice running. It had a big block bolt pattern, but there were a few C4 transmissions with that pattern, too. But then, the 351 Windsor also got ignored until the 1980's.

I just came across this now, so keep that in mind lol. I'm a Ford guy all the way, just preference lol. Instead of the 460cid, I built a 429cid, the reason being just faster spool up of the rotating assembly. My built is really close to the last parts you guys used, the motor was balanced and blueprinted, crower custom grind camshaft, ported and polished heads, msd distributor with a Jacob's ignition. I did this built 2002, still run it in my 72 Mustang Grande with zero issues. The car was different story, welded subframe connectors and adjustable Monty Carlo bar set under the hood. 4:11 gears with a mildly built C6. It's a reliable fun car. I still like the idea of the 429cid, I think people overlook this motor altogether.

When I was dead broke, I raced a '71 Cutlass with a custom 403 running a 330 steel crank, 40 over 460 Ford forged flat top pistons, and Olds 5.7" diesel rods. Also running 455 F heads (mildly ported) with W30 specs and a sheet metal tunnel ram intake. I worked in an engine machine shop grinding cranks back then and used to come up with some really creative combos.

[@obbyjep7597]

403s are neat cause they have a big bore and short stroke, with the 455 heads tend to rev good. Darn windowed mains tho

Oh yea shall we talk about what happened at NASCAR and the misunderstanding with Roush/Yates?

And just like the hemi story NASCAR told Roush/Yates to take their tricked out heads home or give them to everybody ! And that is why you chevy fan boys have staggered valve arrangement allowing much bigger intake and exhaust of the small block chevy called the "LS" as all you chevy fan boys ranting and raving and claim ford sucks ...is why your LS sucks way more air than a Zora arkus-duntov small block ever did proven beyond all doubts on the big banks 4 wide where they claim they see elvis in turn four

I've found the FE engines have a love'm or hate'm following. Everyone I've ever spoke with was either a die hard FE guy or they would never touch one! Can't say I've ever met a Ford guy that didn't have a bias one way or the other! I prefer using the 460 for my big block needs.

[@ronaldpoley4357]

I grew up around FE series Fords. Dad had a ‘67 pickup with a 352 and a ‘66 wagon with a 390 that proved to be very durable engines. Although they did have the performance of a small block Chevys of the same era, the FE big blocks were much better suited and lasted much longer in a truck application. The only 385 series engine that I had any dealing with belonged to a friend in high school. He had a ‘69 Thunderbird with a 429. That was an awesome engine!

Thanks for the work making the video. Back in the mid 80's I built a 460 for street racing. Pretty close to your wild combo, 1969 Lincoln 460, except I ran a 850 DP. Never dyno'd but it ran high 11's at 115 mph in a 1960 ford truck with a top loader. Yeah it was pretty hairy with the farm truck suspension. But when your a kid with minimum money every penny goes to the engine.

[@lukestrasser]

I'm admittedly one of those guys who assumes Chevy when you say big block. But... this early 460 really surprised me, even stock. Nice power, nice build Richard!

[@AtomicReverend]

I have a 1970 460 in my 73 Continental. The 10.5 compression ratio (over the stock 8.5 compression from the 1973 engine that was smogged down) the factory engine would run about 76 mph in the quarter consistently (never went to the track to get a time slip just a quite industrial street where my buddies and me measured a quarter mile), just swapping to the 1970 engine and setting the timing by ear the car would pull 88 MPH... Pretty quick for a 5500lb car that rides like a sofa. Then I did dual 2.5 exhuast with a cross over and it went to 90MPH, swapped to an edelbrock 1411 carb over the FoMoCo carb and got 92 mph then my buddy tuned the carb on his dyno and I got about 94 MPH, next was a simple pertronix and that gave me another 1 mile per hour. Now I am going to go to the next level without rebuilding it (hence why I watched the video) and that will be a cam swap and a port match head job to match the gaskets on the stock intake and head and I am thinking traction might start becoming a problem so far it hasn't been on a good surface from all the weight transfer but the hubcaped 235 thin white wall tires I would imagine are getting close to turning into asphalt crayons lol... So I think a factory limited slip with 3.23 gears might also be in the near future over the 2.73 open diff that's in it now. The worst thing about the car is in the 21 years I have owned it I drive the hell out of it here in so Cal, it really is a nice driving boat of a car that stops well (for the era of car) and is comfortable for road trips to vegas or the beach) it gets 10.5 MPG now and from the factory it was about 12mpg and now it runs on premium where it used to run on regular. Oh and it wants to run warm now in traffic and that's with the AC off so I was also thinking of hiding a pusher fan that is thermostaticly controlled but I would imagine that when the cam wakes it up a bit it will even be worse for heat. That car's engine compartment looks huge but that 460 takes almost every inch of it with all the accessories bolted to it and vacuum canisters on the fender Wells.

[@jimbojimson]

I'm very familiar with the 429/460 and the stock numbers didn't surprise me, but the fact that MPG managed to get 600 hp out of a set of iron heads on a flat tappet cam 😮 That's incredible. The exhaust ports on big block Fords absolutely suck from the factory compared to the intake side, so I'm surprised it could pull it off. That being said I would love to see what a set of AFR heads would do on this engine with no other changes!

I've spent a lot of time and money over the years on parts that really didn't make much of a difference- in durability and in power. In my mind cheap power is king. Anybody can throw $25K at a motor and make power, but what about all us regular guys who have about 5 or 6 grand to spend (which takes most of us a year or more to scrounge up!) ? I'd also like a thoughtful comparative analysis on FE vs. 385 series Ford BBs. I have a soft place in my heart for the FE since FoMoCo stomped Enzo's ass with them and made Americans so proud of our Detroit iron. Sadly there is very little info out there on how to turn a plain jane FE into a killer. Thanks again for the hard work!

[@richardholdener1727]

You bet

[@williamwhite9943]

I second that!

[@michaellewis6676]

I love Ford big blocks! More 460 stuff please

[@Davefromwisconsin]

Finally, a real engine!!

[@AB-80X]

Huh? Where, what, how???

[@AB-80X]

@Thomas Campbell Don't take yourself so seriously. Lighten up. The car world would be utterly boring without the banter between the big three. Now go and do your daily repair:D

[@kerryhawk8075]

ABSOLUTELY bring on more BBF stuff.

[@ProjectFairmont]

Excellent! In midst of finishing my BBF build. 521 cubes, 10.1-1, TFS 290 heads, lunati .611/.611 231/239 110 roller hyd cam for Lincoln MkV. Estimate 550 hp and 427 at the wheels. A little stall 2200 rpm, 2.50 gears...Tourquer II intake will clear stock hood.

[@smokenchoken1736]

Thats the perfect Street Daily Driver combo like im building for my 77 Cougar just a slightly different cam and a 1800 rpm stall (65mph at 2000 rpm with C6 2.50s and 29"tires)

[@idontcare3013]

Thank you for including such a variety of builds, Richard! Keep mixing it up!

[@broncoking8748]

Great video I have a similar build to the mild version with more porting on the exhaust side can't wait to see how it does before the afr heads 👍

[@toneitdown2]

Hech yes let’s see some more setups Richard. I got a 552 with 34-771-9 cam looking for all sorts of head comparison . Keep up the good work man ! Your killing it with all the dyno numbers day after day . Your hard work is noticed

[@richardholdener1727]

thnx

[@SARJENT.]

I would love to see more BBF stuff. Big stroker with Kaase SR71 heads and Boost!

[@AdamAndersonFL]

Love how you did it in stages and showed the power throughout the build.

[@paulortiz4854]

You guys are straight up awesome! Love it!

[@richardholdener1727]

thnx

[@r000tbeer]

Thanks for giving Fords some love! I would have also liked to see the ported heads with the other stock pieces just as a curiosity.

[@BigDaddy-fx4nx]

Go for it, this is total entertainment!!!

[@smokenchoken1736]

Heads up for Junkyard 460 guys... Grab a 93-97 460, use 023x4.4 head gaskets, and a 75cc head and you have 10.32 to 1 compression and a sweet 0.045 Quench.... add in the cam and intake to suit your plans and enjoy

[@trentdawg2832]

Waaaah waaaaah that was the best part of the whole video

[@richardholdener1727]

After 40 years of enjoying both Chevy and Ford BB/SB offerings I can honestly say that back in the day it cost nearly twice as much to get those performance Ford parts but they ALWAYS produced a little more than the GM. Now that there are plenty of parts for the 8.2/9.5 drck SBF with 4 bolt mains I love screwing around with Fox body mustangs but dad was a BBF nut and SBC diehard, he and his pals were getting just under 600hp out of 429/460 engines back in the 80s. They were building jet boat engines with single carb/solid cam setups that just killed the BBC. Now the parts are much more available, roller rockers, better pistons, fuel delivery 600hp is the standard. Still love my GM stuff and the combos are proven. Very fun. I am currently doing a late model 460, heads and turbo on the way without ridiculous cam that cost me low end.

[@trevordevins1042]

There are so many tricks just using stock parts in a 460 it's not even funny and they live even a 7k with stock parts the 460 is the best bang for the buck big block there is and i run chevys but I have a 460 I'm geeking to build

[@jessedeeton7434]

Do you plan on increasing inches or see how brave you can get towards the stock iron?

[@phantomwalker8251]

sacralidge,!!.wash your mouth out,,keep that ford away from the chevs,it,ll de tune the ford..yes,,a 460 is easy power.mild cam,flat tops 4 bbl,,done...alloy heads & rockers if you want more.,i heard they had 450 hp,in 1970.ish.std..then detuned to 220..1973...retarded cam,smog ect...hello from aus..the backwards country..we have ford 6 cyl 250 ci,,here at the drags doing 10 secs.not much need for b/block..the late LS chev is very popular.& cheap..

[@jonathan-emilypowell1962]

Do it!

[@mattjonesturbo1]

Great 460 Richard keep up the Ford videos.

[@joepatenaude3957]

Thanks Richard holdner but let's see boost and how much hp before boom

[@stngh8r]

I'm a GM guy, but have owned a BBF as well. Awesome video, loved it. It's interesting to see some of the strengths of different engines, I.E. The BBF can be easily stroked. Be interested in seeing the "other" BBC too, 500 Cadillac!

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

YES YES and YES!!! I want to see that A460 Tunnel Ram Combo!!!

[@elainestamper3873]

Thanks for all the testing you do very interesting! Easy power from this 460 with the cam swap, more power than the stock boss 351 test you did impressive!

[@fmanion24]

I can't wait for this 8.1 build.

[@fazawah2933]

Have not heard about Mr. Mark Sanchez in quite awhile. Back in the magazine days I picked up alot of 460 info from him but he got into the Mod engines and LS became the norm. Watch all your videos and have plenty of old magazines with you R.H.

[@moparnut6286]

Always wanted to do this to my 79 bronco ..... Put in a 460 like in das Broncos from power block since my Bronco already had a 400m from your previous video and it would had dropped right in since the bell housings are the c6 big block.

[@davidstanfield1419]

I used to run nothing but big Ford's. I love these engines. I had a 460 police interceptor, with a lot of mods, it put out 1,373 hp. and 900 lbs torque. Enough to twist the body of my '65 Custom 500. Good old days.

[@erikc.1087]

Now that you've done this series, time for the FE!

[@eddiespagetti8395]

Cool. I'm wild side. I have 460 banks Powerpack with trick heads and big cam. It's in my motorhome. I'm take it out and put in a ford car. Just gotta find old ford body. Sleeper Fairmont or ford ?? Fun times. I want to rebuild make it 700 to 800hp. Wild stuff. Thanks for the tips. The 460 really is a gem.
