What is the max rpm you would run a stock lowerend of a 460, D1VE engine???? mud racing is what i'm doing wide open for 10sec or less

It would depend upon how many passes you would need it to last.

5500-6000 if it's in good working order

i've had a couple 460's.. newer ones.. 87-91 motors. that the pistons break apart...
i'm going to set the rev limiter at 4700.....
i'm thinking the older stuff is better.......

Don't know about the newer pistons. My 429 has D1 short bock with stock pistons and a mildish grind hyd. cam. The bottom end and pistons worked fine in 1/8 drag racing, with 150 shot of N20 for quite a while at 5,500 rpm. It would most likely still be going, if I had not dropped a valve. At least if the bottom end goes you are out of less money. I was impressed with the stock parts.racinghabbit wrote:i've had a couple 460's.. newer ones.. 87-91 motors. that the pistons break apart...

6500 is more like it. We run them a lot higher

Know of a 429 run in a 58 Edsel in the late 1960's. Cam, upgraded valvetrain, homemade TR, stock bottom end saw 8,200 rpm more than once... cast pistons tend to break off the skirts after awhile...
