This is my progress thread on building my 93 lx mustang in a 460 bigblock. I paid 800 for the car with 148k and it ran great. It was an auto with a 4 cylinder.
I am going from efi to carb and this will be a budget build up.

I started with pulling the engine, cleaning and painting the bay. I used tractor supply gloss black paint. Its shiney, durable and last forever.



Here is where Im at today with the motor. 1971 460, clean and honed, stock crank, rods and pistons. Cleaned and honed, new bearings, rings and gaskets. FMS 460 swap pan and motor mounts.

I might be wrong, but have you ever considered a cold water intake for that thing?

This is like watching a retarded person try to eat english peas with a fork... It's counter intuitive.
