Post  blown460 August 22nd 2010, 4:40 pm

My new project is going to be building a mean 460 looking for high hp...since im knew to the bbf scene i had a question on which block would be best for me.. Im going to use a sonny bryant crank and some forge internal and looking to build it into a 632ci monster or whats the highest i can stroke to? and looking at using a dual tunnel ram setup. or maybe single carb havent made up my mind.. what block would be the best for me?

or should i get the 460 from ford racing?

whats the highest i can stroke and for it to be street legal? i herd people stroking pass 632ci? if this is possible what are the sizes that are avaliable for it to be stroked out to?

the premier block will go bigger than a ford block.4.700 bore,4.750 stroke is about it,i think Question after that it gets $$$$$$,as if that aint $$$$$enough. Laughing

Im no expert (by a long shot) but unless you have a fair size wallet, and this is a street car, my opinion would be, that a 4.5 inch stroke would be the stroke limit before you kinda move to the next threshold of dollars (higher end parts and machine work) . 4.5s fit (for the most part) into Ford racing A460 blocks or IDT blocks with little to no mods... not saying you *cant* go bigger, but your stepping into a realm of more machine work and much more expensive parts.

if your looking for sheer cubic inches, but want to stay at a relatively affordable place, possibly consider 598 (4.6 bore X 4.5 stroke) using an A460 block, or 625 (4.7 bore X 4.5 stroke) using one of the higher end IDT blocks.

what are your end goals? do you have a horsepower number in mind? just want a cubic inch number for bragging rights? A certain 1/4 mile time?

i was originally going to go with a 598 ci but looking for high hp... around the 1,000 mark... so far i was thinking of big cubes plus tunnel ram with 2 1050cfm and some nice aluminum heads like trick flow... what are you opinions?

what end of the opnions do you want the $24,000 or the $65,000 opinion . What amount of dollars you got to spend ? no sense giving the highest end if you don't have it

if you spend your money like you should and listen to good advice you can have 1000hp at a decent price.big cube's dont always mean big hp,spending big money dont either.

TO KEEP THE COST DOwn,and if you want a big inchenging, id do a 4.500 stroke with a 4.600 bore,this will still be costly,yes id use a eliminator block( a460 blocks are also very strong nothing wrong with them) you dont need a sonnlyb crank, there a great product also,but once again there are other places to spend you money doing this

what is this going in? what are you wanting to do?
