Resurrecting a 30 year old 460.

[JTS71 Mach1]

I've had several Ford cars with a 2 barrel and If you find one of the bigger versions, they will provide tremendous performance. The biggest ones with the 1.33 venturi are right at 500 CFM. And you don't get any of the bog issuses, of going from the front 2 barrels to all 4 barrels at WOT. I realize you can tune all of that out, but it is some serious tuning, and very time consuming. Plus it's still sitting directly over the center 4 cylinders. Which causes a leaner fuel charge at the outer cylinders. Case in point I've read some articles and Comp cams is working on a grind to specifically address the issue of fuel starvation at the outer cylinders. They are trying to even them out by changing the profile of the cam for the outer cylinders to balance them, thus equalizing the cylinders. With the setup I'm building I will have the front carb centered over the front 4 cylinders, and the rear carb centered over the back 4 Cylinders. Thereby creating perfect fuel distribution and no starvation, with a combined 1000 CFM of fuel capacity. Which a "built" 460 is quite capable of handling. When done I intend to have about 650+ hp, decent street manners, with A/C and all the creature comforts. Oh, I'am also thinking of adding a 150 or so shot of Nitrous, just in case I meet one of those Hell Cats. Hell Cat My Ass I got a JACOBRA! Let the Fun Begin!
