what's happening? been lurking for a bit and just got a fresh rebuilt 466 for my bronco for $40. it is a mystery motor, so i am going to tear it down to see what i actually have. my buddy is in a college auto mech program and he got it for me because someone built it in class and never came back to pick it up. it sat there for a few years, so little info is known about it until i tear it down. it has d3 heads and a d1 block. i'll get back with some part #'s and more info once i get it tore down.
so here's my situation: i am looking to make somewhere in the area of 4-475ish hp with torque in mind and still retain street manners. stock stroke 466ci is what i'm sticking with. this motor is going in a 78 bronco that is eventually going to be on one ton axles with 4.56 gears, 40'' tires, and a c-6. i don't care if it idles like two rocks shaking in a tin can, i just need it to make enough vacuum for functional brakes and a redline of 6k rpm. i am very budget minded, so let me know prices if you can on parts for a build that will get me to my goal. i don't have a fortune to spend, but if it is a neseccery part or upgrade i can save for it. please don't ask for a budget, just let me know what i can do or buy to get to my goal. i'm willing to put time into my heads because i'm sticking with the d3's. and also i need some info and options for torque converters. this bronco will be street driven as well as beat to hell in all sorts of situations on and off road. it's not gonna be a mud racer, just more of an all around toy and occasional driver. any help will be appreciated. this is my first build, and i have several very knowledgeable friends that can help me with the small issues i might run into, but i could use a fresh opinion for a tried build idea geared towards torque and reliability.
-thanks in advance.
