A couple hours ago I picked this up:
Yeah, it's a 460.
It has a Performer 460 manifold on it, was rebuilt not long before being tossed outside, and has/had at least a gallon of rainwater in it. I started tearing it down and got hopeful when I saw crosshatching and minimal bore corrosion, but that changed when I saw the #8 piston. It looked like it fought with a broken valve at one time and there were some residual dings in the bore. The #8 intake pushrod was also kinda "S" shaped, Same with the #4 exhaust pushrod. I only pulled the driver's side head so far.
Anyway, it's a D1VE block and at least one of the heads is a D3. The other had D_VE on it. Only has an .030" overbore(4.390") and I haven't pulled the pan off yet to go poking around inside.
What do you all think? Was it worth $25?
