new guy getting into big blocks

since i've spent some time lurking and wanna build a motor, i figured it was time to register. i've tossed the idea around for years and it's finally time to try one out. i've had a bunch of other setups, sbf n/a, 351w's, turbo, vortech's and nitrous. i'd like to build a solid pump gas n/a motor for my latest mustang. i'd also like to keep this one for a while, unlike the rest.

i'll continue to do a bunch of searching on here. but my basic plan is to put together a mild combo to get this car driving and then build a high hp stroker. right now, i'd like to do a 460 .030 over and put some good heads on it. maybe tfs street or p-51's. it'll be carbed and auto. here's a few pics of the car.

thanks
mike

Welcome to the site, Nice car !

welcome! I like it!

With the underside of that car being so clean, I expect you will be wiping it down, after every time you drive it?

Nice car, welcome to the Forum.

Nice car, welcome to the Forum.

haha, i've been working on it so long and not driving. i'm not sure what i'll do when it's actually done. i'm afraid to have anything happen to it

nice car, im new on here also. I have a 79 with same suspension set-up as you there. I have a .030 460 also that is balanced with arp main,rod and head bolts,solid lifter camsaft in the 600's lift, just orderd SCJ aluminum heads for it and I have an edelbrock victor460 intake with a 1050 dominator carb. MSD ignition also. Hoping for a good running motor. have fun with your build.

great looking stang bro , any updates on the progress ?
