Hello, This is my first post. I am a long time ford guy. My plans are to put a 466 in my 01 bullitt. Project is with my 18 and 15 year old sons.
We are setting a goal of 625-650 hp flywheel w/o stroke kit. ( we may put that in at a later date but not now)
My current plan is to use Kaase P51 heads with a stock block (.030 over) stock crank and stock rods all taken from a truck 460. The balance of the components I will decide later as I am only starting out and will probably take us 12-14 months to afford everything.
My question, is it better to buy a compete motor so I have brackets, water pump, timing cover, valve covers etc. I ask because I have found a shortblock 466 that needs rebuild. The guy has quite a few 429-460 parts.
I know what years I'm looking for. Any suggestions as far as questions I should ask him as far as other parts I could use so I dont have to buy so much pc meal? Also am I on the right track as far as the truck motor idea? I had read somewhere that the rods were stronger in the trucks. I'll be using a TR3650 trans (I hope will work) from my bullitt so maybe I'll need a 460 flywheel?
We are hoping to document our entire experience. I know I like to read and view them so I'm assuming others will be interested in ours. We are in Saint Charles, IL
Thanks in advance for any help.
