On this episode of Horsepower, the team sets out to build a classic Ford 460 Big Block on a rock bottom budget. The Ford 460 engine build starts out with a junkyard 385 series engine, which was Ford’s final big block V8 engine design. Because these engines were sold from model year 1968 to 1996/7, these engines are plentiful and fairly cheap. The Horsepower team picked up theirs for only $200.

10:18 So we're just going to pretend that the Camshaft block off plate is completely irrelevant and doesn't need to be installed?!?!? C'mon man!
did you put sealant on head gasket
can you put that 460 in my dodge caravan
RIP Joe Elmore
460 distribute comes out without a problem. I call shenanigans.
Can I drop my 460 off? You can do it on the next show he he! (I wish) Thanks guys always wanted to do this…! 🙂
Just picked up a 460 for $300!
Does anyone know exactly what model of loctite they used?
Only to 501. The deck height (12.323") don't allow for anything higher unless you want the pistons in orbit or playing slap battle with the heads.
1500? Damn i remember when me and my dad would of did a complete rebuild for bout 850,,of course that was around 1985 or 86 😂
I'm looking to put a 460 in a monte carlo ss
