- Today we're building a big block ford for under $600. I got this ford 460 from a 1996 f-250 in the junkyard and built it to go in the station wagon.
Let me know what you guys think!!!
Go get them revs!!
Awesome video, can’t wait to see it running!
Appreciate the comment man!! We’re gonna get it going! Stay tuned!
these 460's are all about the heads.. the early ones had 77CC chambers and the later ones had 90CC.. there are many diff heads avail that came on these
For sure. Im hoping the early style heads will help make up for the later dish pistons. New video up now of it on the dyno!
it will.. should give you 9-1 compresion

Do you know a lot about the 460. I’m about to pull out mine and have NO idea what I’m doing. It’s a 91 F350 XLT Lariat Super Crew Cab LB Dually. 7.5L 460ci Gas MFI Vin G V8 2 Valve OHV. Any advice, tips, or good reading material would be hella appreciated man (especially the reading material recommendations). Thanks in advance
Oh and if there’s any upgrades/performance parts you’d recommend
You can manipulate it with love separation angle duration. Roller rockers to
Using a wire wheel with no eye protection is always a smart idea
An oversight yes haha
They're called safety squints. Chill Dad
Dude im the last person who crys safety,
But using a wire wheel with out eye protection is one i will everytime.
The wires break and go flying constantly.
I had a wire get lodged in my leg lol didn't know till 2 weeks was wondering why leg was hurting and lump there .😂
@@Theupstateidiotsnah man dads don’t do that it just gets sent safety ideally but will ship without regardless
500 for carb and linkage. All the accessories and belts maybe 200 min. Motor mounts. Cam is 500 for flat tapper. 150 for the lubes coolant and oil. 40 for plugs. Distributor and wires for 200 any configuration, 600 for basic electronic. That’s stock exh manifolds which is good for this level. 300 to get cooling straightened around. C6 min rebuild is 230 plus 35 in atf. That will be 325 to 400 go .You can do the bottom end later for maybe 700 with shop crank work and get 550-650. What’s all that like 2500?
I already have most of the stuff you're talking about from the old motor in the station wagon. Also even if I did need everything you talked about, I think you and I both know your list can be found cheaper if you put some effort into it. Thanks for watching! stick around for the dyno video!
Nooo this is so cool!!
I want to fit one of these in my 78 Jaguar XJ6
Thanks man! I say go for it!
@@vasilibrown I'm really looking into it.
From what I've heard cams and a head are good for fun
I'd love to hear a good clip of some pulls from this thing though!
I felt it when you made those small mistakes bro…I try so hard to keep everything clean then end up eventually dumping a little dirt or gasket crap in the engine… at least we try 🤣
That's the best we can do!
Great tip on the front seal, hope you noticed the metal spring that popped off the seal.
God I hope I did too. This was back in November. Hard for me to remember lol. I’d like to think I saw it and put it back in 😂😂😂
one thing ;people rarely take into consideration with cam timing is which time zone the wrecking yard was in where you got the engine.
Glad someone understands the importance!
Ole time way : Paint both sides of head gasket before putting between block and head :)
I’ve actually never heard of that
@@vasilibrown copper paint is used … a lot of high end performance builders use this method… it creates a better seal .
Those motors have got alot of torque...
Gotta love all them cubic inches!
As far as reusing your head bolts, it's perfectly fine when building a big block ford. The big fords have gigantic head bolts that can be reused sevral times with no problem. Chevys have much smaller head bolts & replacing them is were that rule applies much more often.
That’s good information to know! Thanks for the watch!
Reusing head bolts once or twice is not an issue unless there is torque to yield bolts which are used in newer stuff such as LS style engines. Which even people reuse those often.
@@Theupstateidiots well good! Hopefully no problems running this one
YEARS BACK AS A STEAM FITTER. WHEN I REUSED THE SAME BOLTS ON FLANGES THEY LEAKED. SO AS A RULE OF THUMB NEW BOLTS WERE A MUST. OLD BOLTS ARE STRETCHED AND LOOSE THEIR ABILITY TO ACT LIKE SPRINGS ALLOWING THE FLANGES TO MATE EVENLY. THIS THEORY ALSO APPLIES TO CYLINDER HEADS WHERE THE HEADS NEED TO MATE EVENLY TO THE BLOCK. ON THE SMALL BLOCK FORD BEING A LIGHT WEIGHT CASTING, NEVER REUSE THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THROW THEM AWAY. IN GENERAL FROM WHAT I LEARNED IN A PARTICULAR FIELD OF MECHANICS ALSO APPLIES TO OTHER FIELDS OF MECHANICS. FOR A NORMAL NONE ABUSED CONDITIONS YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH USING THE ORIGINAL BOLTS, AND EVEN THEN I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. FOR INSURANCE ESPECIALLY FOR SEVERE WORK DUTY AND RACE ENGINES. THIS IS MY HANDS ON EXPERIENCE. ALWAYS USE NEW BOLTS. ARP CLAIMS YOU CAN REUSE THEIR BOLTS 2-3 TIMES BECAUSE OF THE BETTER METAL TECHNOLOGY. BUT A THIRD TIME I QUESTION. ONCE THE HEAT GETS TO THEM OVER TIME THEY LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO STRETCH BACK.
I used to harbor freight spring compressor and I used it on the heads and replaced all my valve seals
I’m glad it worked for you! After this video they came out with a larger spring compressor that probably would have worked for me
Did you try putting a socket on the retainer and giving it a moderate tap with a hammer? It helps break free the retainer from the valve lock. JM2C
You are my spirit animal
An honor of the highest caliber haha!
My Mexican friend would call this a Mexican rebuild. Serious
Hahaha that’s funny. Show it to your friend and keep an eye out for the next video. Just got it back from the dyno run
Don't forget the fuel pump eccentric.
Going with electric fuel pump, have one on the shelf and since this was an efi engine it didnt have an eccentric. I’ve done that on other engines though………makes for alot of fun lol
You sir are a bad dude , just getting it done 💪🏼🛻💨🏁
Thanks brother! We just work with what we have. Keep your eyes out for a video of it running. Picking it up today from the guy running it on his dyno.
Id get a set of heads! Heads, headers, cam! Thats what I plan for my 94F150 flareside!
If only I had the budget for it
@@vasilibrown I got most of the parts, got a tci c4, heads, pistons already on the rods, 3 blocks, one a 95 roller block! Set of aluminum heads! Just gotta put something together.
I shared to my fb!
Thank you!
Kool thanks
You bet, thanks for watching!!
You sound like the guy from the movie Christine movie
Maybe I’ll get picked up by a casting director lol
nice viedo. I daily drive a 460 lol
That’s awesome! Hoping to drive the wagon that this is going in often
You should have painted the block and heads first and spot weld the intake oil pump screen engine will always cost you 5'ooo to 10'000
Every time I put effort into painting an engine Inget discourage when it doesnt look the same after 6 months in the car lol
Its a shame they don't give you quality piston rings and new lifters and new oil pump for old engines the government only wants aluminium blocks and heads with plastic intakes
Plastic engine parts are the death of me lol
I didn’t see you put a gasket on for the oil pan
Luckily I did haha. Check out the video of it on the dyno and the one of it going in the wagon!
Buy them $300 all the time
That’s awesome! Not impossible to do stuff on a budget, just have to be willing to put some time into it
@@vasilibrown parts are very expensive today. Where I hard to find a good reasonable Machinest rather just for a good one. That’s reasonable
You said 429 but the title of the video is 460
The engine I'm replacing is a 429 and the heads are from that engine. The engine I built in the video is a 460. Only difference between the two is the 460 has about a quarter inch extra stroke
Is it just me or did he miss quite a few lobes on the cam?
Looks good to me! Check out the videos I’ve uploaded of it running!
I getting ready to put a 460 in my Lincoln
I wish you luck my friend! Should be fun!
You do rebuilt engines aside?
I don’t know if I understand your question. Are you asking if I rebuild engines for people?
What I've heard these newer 460 deck is taller than the ones made before 73 is this correct or am I wrong
I dont think so. My 69 heads bolted right to the 90’s block
@@vasilibrown how did it run putting older model heads
@@vasilibrown I've got probably a 87 460 I was told it's low compression compared to the older models and was thinking about finding some older heads thinking it might help
Head bolts are 1/2 in.
👍🏼
460 head bolts are not torque to yield, re-use is ok if they are in good shape.
Good to know!
Why are your hands blue?
Some things in life can’t be explained
Did you use the stock factory pushrods?
Yeah I used the ones that came from the original engine since I’m using those cylinder heads and rocker arms
Witch one r u beavis or butthead 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Trying to copy vise grip. Not good
Thanks fpr the view brother
