I have had this crazy idea since my car stated knocking. They few people that I told tried to talk me out of it (Urban cough cough lol). i was all about to give up on the idea I even talked to Rick about building me a motor. I just couldn't give in to the idea. I've been watching ebay and came across a old 460 block that was about an hour away. I lost the auction but when the winner went to pick he didn't like that there were no main caps which was in the listing. Guy looked me up and sold it to me. Picked it up this morning.
The plan is have it all gone over and bored. I'm gonna get a 514 Stroker kit like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=320205944441&rd=1. They make motor mounts and a oil pan for this actually so I'll get them. I still have to find headers. The big thing is heads. I'd like to be abe to drive the car on the street. As it is right now I need to pass emissions. I know that will be hard as it is to pass with this motor but I'd like to try. That being said I have no idea what heads i'm throwing on it yet. I might try to get a set of newer heads with the emissions junk on them and hope for the best. The other option is get it inspected right before I swap the motor and keep the miles under 5,000 or wat ever it is but I don't know if you still have to have the stuff there for visual or not.
I also have to decide if I wanna go efi or carb I would love to go efi but we'll see when I get to that point.
Guy I bought the block off of tried to talk me into building a 545 but like I said emissions on a 514 will be hard enough.
This is gonna be a long process. As I get the money I'll buy parts and slowly put it together. I'm sure I'll be on here asking for help. I'll keep this updated as i go as well.
Here's the the start of the project a 460 C9E block I was told its a 69
