MY '87 460 Turbo Coupe....with a Procharger

Out with the old, rusty,  oil burning truck engine and in with the "new" 460. I say new, but it was built in 1996. :D

This engine will be broke in using the TC first and tested at the track, then pulled out and put into my 84 Crew Cab when the 512 procharged engine is ready.

I love the fact that I do not have to remove the hood on the TC to get the Big Block in and out.

When i was pullin' the carb off an old 460 at the JY this last weekend, I was really surprised at massive size of it.

I still think it would be cool if someone could invent an electric clutch for a blower belt like in the Mad Max movie.:D


A/C clutch?

It's scary (in a good way) that you've got so much motor in that car.  You must not be having traction issues if you're adding a blower, esp with 355s?

With those mounts it looks to sit about as low as a 5.0 does under the hood :D

I read 5 or 6 posts last night before I saw it was old...good read though.

I wonder if the OP will come along and update it. Alan has some cool stuff...I see him post on yellerbullet a bit, too.
