950 cfm is to much carb for a cam that size even with p51s assuming you want to drive it on the street .Might want to consider 11to1 as ceiling for pump gas even with alluminum heads unless pump gas down under exceeds 93 octane.
Mild 460 build.
how's it going guys?
looking at building a mild 460 with maybe looking at large gains in performance later down the track.
basically the idea is to build something that will go fairly well but not over the top, simply because i want to get used to a BB before i go mental and put my car into a pole.
this will be a street car so here is what i am thinking:
.030" over
460 crank ground 10/10
H-beams
trying to work out how high to run the comp so pistons may or may not be custom (looking at around 11.5:1 static)
Kaase p-51s (depending on exhaust port angle, don't want to chop my shock towers...)
Crower 286R (have seen EXCELLENT results from this cam in clevelands, and seeing as they make one for a 460, i'd say this will be my starting point), then an update to a bigger cam maybe Comp XR292 or something similar.
the one thing i am not sure of is the intake manifold and carb, i'm not sure wether to go a 950cfm or not.
with the intake manifold, which intake manifold should i run, i will only be pulling 6000rpm with the first cam, it'll turn to 6500, but peak power will probably be around the 5800 mark.
i'm only trying to work out the small cam setup at the moment, not worried about the larger cam untill 2-3 years, i don't get my license back for 18months anyway...
also, trying to work out what gearbox to run behind this thing, i want to keep it a manual, what do most people around here run?
any advice people can give me? ignition systems etc?
here's a pic of the car it will be going in:

thats an XA, mine is an XC, but they look pretty much the same, just put my bonnet gaurds and grill on it, though the sports models came with twin headlight grills (2 headlights per side instead of one like mine), yes i would love a coupe, no i cannot afford one they are more then triple the price of sedans haha
