This thread makes me want to take my t-bird out to the track. Even if it does nothing but disintegrate the right rear.

Originally posted by Mercracer View PostThe E7TE 460 head is the beginning of the true "EFI" heads. Ford raised the intake ports which means that a normal 429/460 4V intake will not work.
Nobody makes an aftermarket 4V intake for them. PMI makes an intake adapter for around $280 or you can use the carb adapter I mentioned above...
As I sort of said in my original posts, I know virtually nothing about building 460s. I just assumed late-model heads were about as good as pre-emissions heads but easier to find, like is the case with small blocks.

160KMs 600cfm holley, shorty headers, 2.5" catted exhaust, 255/295 tires, cop shocks, cop swaybars, underdrive pulley, 2.73L gears.
waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

How hard would it be to fit a Top-Loader in a panther? I know a new drive shaft will probably need to be made, aswell and modifying the tranny-tunnel for bolt holes and such. Anything else I'd have to worry about?

A modern T5 5-speed is more readily available and you can use a factory length driveshaft and a Mustang bellhousing.

I did some reading on a pseduo 385 series build up. 598" (FRPP block), and special heads (A460?).
915 hp, with a 'conservative' cam, as the builder wanted some reliabiltiy from the engine.
Not too shabby. I don't need 598 cubic inches, or 915 hp, but I was pretty impressed. I wish 4 bolt 385 series blocks were more prevalent.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser
