Can this be done?

Of course it can be done, and as the 400 from the '78 is quite a bit smaller in external dimensions than the 430 (or the 460) fitting the engine should not be a problem. Fitment of the larger C-6 trans might be an problem. The main issue I see is that a smaller, low compression, smog controlled moto...

460 swap

You guys are hilarious. Over the years I have been consistently amused by the vehemence with which some argue against anyone attempting this swap. I have a 64 convertible driver and I will probably never have the time to swap the 69 460 and C-6 that I have set aside in the garage into it. I am begin...

pbxsuicide,

65-66 lincoln customs

pbxsuicide, One day I will get around to building the 460 for my car. I am particularly interested in what cam, intake etc... you used. I am considering one of the available stoker kits to help create an iresistable force to move my unmovable object. I had never considered custom wound springs, mine...
