I am going to be building another car and am planning on using a 5.8 or bigger engine. My question is this. With all of the extra parts needed to put a 5.8 in a 89 would it be worth it to just dump in a 460? Is there that much more power/strength in a 460 over a 351? I have articles on how to install the 460 and I can get one for relativly cheap and rebuild it. Thanks.

thanks but yikes thats a lot to read.

Can you bolt a manual tranny to a 460? I love pounding the gears!

and how much horse does a 460 make stock? I am thinking of a stock 460 with stock ported heads, an aftermarket intake, 750+ carb and a lumpy ass cam. Would the stock bottom end handle that?
