Knock Knock whos there ? (engine related) Reply #8 – October 27, 2005, 01:57:35 AM Hope so too.My Buddy has a 460 built by Jon Kaase that is just sick and makes 800+HP on pump gas. But b4 Jon rebuilt this motor he would have to change the bearings every year. Since Jon has built it and reworked the oil systom he has put 3 years on the motor b4 he did a ring and bearing to it.The Motor is in a very clean 66 fairlane that runs low 10s on a 30inch tall ET street.
