460 newbie

Hi guys hello from the uk, I've got an 81 E350 RV , running a 460 big block, I'm going to pull the engine and trans due to the massive fuel costs over here, the engine and trans are going into a 1990 escort drag car, then a cummins b series fitted to the E350, can anyone recommend mods to give me around 500 bhp? Cheers in advance

welcome to the site , that is going to be a pretty wicked ride with a 460 shoe horned in that escort ..... keep us posted

Thanks Bruno just found that page, the little escort should be an animal, it's not the first front wheel drive I've converted to rwd, the last was an 83 escort van running 511hp of cops worth turbo power with nos on pump gas, what a ride that was lol

Any idea what trans is fitted to a 350 ?

a big welcome from wey up here in north, cheers jonny

Welcome. Being nosey is that the old phil drewitt supergas escort?

Welcome......

Hi no it's an all new build, it was a 1990 ecsort 1.3 bonus, one owner from new 47,000 on the clock, looking to build a space frame chassis, ford 9" rear end, custom front possibly go mustang front set up, unless I go mk2 escort coil overs , not decided yet :-)

welcome and that is going to be wild ride ...talk about power to weight ratio

Cool. you wont have any problem getting an easy 500 from one of these motors and the torque to go with it.

That's what I'm looking for, a street legal straight line missile lol, any of you guys run on avgas, I can get it from my local small airfield, it's 110ron with lead, that's should spice it up a bit , should run cooler with lead in it,

You wanna stick that post in the main engine tech part. You'll get more replies. There I'm sure

Cool will do thanks
