This may sound stupid, but I was wondering if anybody has tried to put a carbed 460 in one of the '97-'02 F-150's. I've got a bored and stroked 460 (496ci) that I had built when I was a kid that's been sitting on the engine stand for the last 20 years, and I had a possibly interested buyer in it. If he waffles too long, or falls through, I think it would be an amazing replacement for that tired old 4.6. I'd want to go to a salvage yard and get the 5 speed/4x4 xfer case, as well as the serpentine stuff and such from a 7.5 F-truck, but how nasty an undertaking do folks here think it would be? Has anybody already done it? Pretty wild idea, I know, but hey, the 4.6 rebuild will run me well over $2k (including Patriot heads) and I already have about 3 times that much spent in that 460, in 1989 dollars, so if there's a chance it could work without too much in the way of headaches (getting the headers on that 4.6 was a NIGHTMARE!!!!) I might actually be game.
