460 Or 4.6l Police Interceptor?

You'd be a lot better off just building up the 460 for low to mid-range torque, as it'll be moving a hell of a lot of Thunderbird.
The 4.6 tends to be a more rev happy engine.
And, for what you'd more than likely spend just acquire a 4.6, and the stuff to run it, you could build one hell of a big block, and still whup the 4.6 engine's ass in every category except mileage, and not have to
change a thing in you car, such as transmission, motor mounts, etc etc.
For the same reason, I wouldn't consider putting a 351w in it, either.
You'd have to change trans. with it, as well as mounts, accessories, and the whole 9 yards.
Why exactly are ya wantin' to put a mod motor in there, anyway?
If you're going to be different, that's one thing, but doing it for more power is going to be a big hassle, when for probably around a grand or so, you could make that 460 one bad mother...
Just my opinion, though...:D
