1979 engines were rated BHP (brake hp, not crank)...so that 130-hp gain you noted was actually the crank you're measuring, not that 100-hp loss off the BHP reading...(and, of course, you dropped LOTS of problems by ditching emissions and that iron intake boat-anchor. Oh...and BAD MOVE on that parts-washer distributor move...you wash the oils off those bronze bushings in that distributor shaft, that shaft will wobble like a weeble in a week from massive friction-wear!

Out of all 454 ever in a car, most were turds in trucks. What gives them the image was the LS6 in the chevelle. The 460 never got anything like that. Just Lincoln duty and then truck duty.

Hey guys, love the build,, Use Brass plugs, steel freeze plugs will rust through due to electrolysis. Can't believe you pried the head off the way you did, especially watching it drop to the floor! On the rear main seal, its a good idea to offset the seal about 30 degrees to keep it from leaking, in other words the part line of the seals should not be even with the block but inside the block and cap. Hate using silicone to seal the engine, I prefer cork, use High Tack to attach the gaskets. Great job on pre-lubing the motor, that is real important.. Great to watch!!

Love how you redid the stock valve covers 😎!

Best show hands down.👍👍👍

Killer upload, and beast to a beauty rebuild! As an OG (old guy)... I love seeing old school American iron getting new life...Being on youtube for so many years, I'm very impressed by so many great mechanics...Subbing sharing etc...:)

Video starts at 3:34 if you're only interested in the 460 build.

Thanks dwinnin

Just an FYI, a 460 will put out 500HP and 500lbft Torque with ease!

Sounds to me with those parts they were running a very mild cam

@@phantomwalker8251 no they had a measly 290hp or something ridiculous like that. They were considered the Big Smog Motor!!!! A lot of people used to call them boat anchors!!!

@@phantomwalker8251 1971 was the last year of the high compression engines. Earlier engines (up to 1971) produced 365 HP GROSS. The lower compression was done to cope with unleaded fuel, and yes, the 8* retarded later timing sets hurt the engine a fair bit. A set of flat tops with their large chamber heads would have been about 9.5:1, and they would have done better. I suspect shenanigans on their power for this, though - that was basically a stock build.

Cody Parker Flat tappet can grinds are usually mild no?

I remember this show when I was a kid it was awesome

Gotta tell ya, love the video. I did a 460 and trans from a T-Bird to put into a buddy's F150. A truck we 'intended' to just be a trailer towing rig. We kinda got carried away, My buddy bought a 429 Super Cobra Jet solid lifter cam & I'd read that the 385 series likes a cam where the intake opens @ 136 degrees before top dead. Well, that's exactly where the timing IS on that cam, but not wanting solid lifters I sent the cam out to a crank grinder who reground the cam down to the next smaller hydraulic grind yet it retained the intake valve timing. I started some minor 'bowl blend' porting and my buddy wanted me to get rid' of the big thermactor boss in the exhaust port. In fact against my objections (I'm NOT a cylinder head porter) He had me port the exhust complete and with an aluminum intake, a holley, headers and exhaust that thing turned out to be a BEAST! He 'regularly' beat 5.0 Mustangs and the like!
