I got my motor out of a 77 F250 I like the power I got out of it. My truck is 4500 Lbs. the pistons are Flat tops I havent had it dinoed (sp) but it pulls like crazzy I was shooting for 450 500 HP/TQ.

" The Truck is now equipped with a 460 cu. in. Ford Big Block. The motor year is 1977 it has been rebuilt, balanced and board 30 over making it a 466 cu. in. Heads are factory cast Iron D3ve home ported on the exhaust side The Cam is a Lunati Bracket Master II with 516 – 543 lift. The duel lift is to make up for the smaller exhaust valves in this other wise stock head and The Comp Cam roller tip rocker conversion kit was used. The motor runs very strong I have not had it on a dino yet but when I built it, I was shooting for 450-hp and 500-ft lb. of torque."
