I'm new here, but have been doing a couple months of research on putting a 460 in a 67 or 68 mustang. I've recently bought the engine, but wanted to run my build specs by you guys to see if you could give me some feedback on the streetability and any problems anybody here might have run into. Here's what I'm planning:
460 block casting D9TE (bored .30 over, dipped and zero decked)
Main girdle (I keep hearing this is not needed?)
Scat 9000 series crank (internal balance)
4.3" stroke on h-rods
flat top forged pistons, floating pin, single valve for scj heads
Ford racing aluminum scj heads (M-6049-SCJB)
Lunati solid roller cam 273/279 duration (64032SK)
Lunati double roller chain
Lunati voodoo roller rockers 1.73 ratio
Edelbrock aluminum dominator intake (2965) for scj heads; single plane
E-85 950 cfm dominator carb (demon or holley)
ford power train 2" headers for the mustang conversion
crites motor mounts
HEI distributor
High volume oil and fuel pumps
Tremec 6 speed transmission (don't have the gear ratio's)
9" 3.73 rear end
17" wheels with 315/35/17 tires on the rear
1" lowering springs
chassis stiffener
Export braces
this would be going in a 67 or 68 mustang fastback used for mostly street but some strip. There is E-85 readily available and I have the permit to make my own.
Any feedback, tips, thoughts would be appreciated. This is my first big block build and I want to get it right. Thanks in advance.
