for all of you 73 guys who want to lose weight like me

[Tnfastbk]

While I am not trying to initiate a big block versus small block argument, I personally subscribe to the "build enough HP and/or torque approach" whereby the weight thing becomes a "non-player."

It has been reported that you can take approximately 140 pounds out of a 460 (via a 521/545/557 build with aluminum heads, intake and water pump). This will provide a motor weighing less than @600 pounds making in excess of 750HP (at the flywheel) and a nearly FLAT torque curve between 2500 RPM and 6500 RPM.

Quite frankly Olie, I don't think you need to take out any additional weight considering your stated use (bracket racing/cruising) of your Mustang, even with that iron-headed 521.

Just my $.02

Yes you are, told you just send that old worn out big block when you take it out this way and we will see

Well the 428CJ motor (currently in Fire) is not worn out; it is just that the 545 that will replace it is more "period correct" and a tad stronger. I still plan on putting the 428 in a 69/70 Mustang.

.and Olie, I actually have three 429/460 motors already...all D0VE-A blocks. That having been said, your 466 is a really good deal. Someone should jump all over it!
