There's a problem with the 460 though. It's heavy. Yeah you'll make the power cheap but it screws up the weight and it's distribution in the car. That's the main reason none of the serious race cars run them. You'd honestly be almost the same money for the turbo 5.3 swap, or, if you want to stay carb, l92 head 6.0 with a cam. 550 horse proven in numerous magazines. Less weight from the right place too.
Or do a stroked small block ford if you want to stay all ford.
Not trying to steer you away from the 460 out of brand bias, just been around long enough and seen enough to know that unless you need the low down torque in a truck stay away from the 460.
