460 Or 4.6l Police Interceptor?

But there's still not near as much as for a BBC...that was my point.


I'd be more concerned at the price for some of the parts let alone the availability

If BB Fords weren't so expensive I'd do one for the Tbird instead of building a 5.0 for it. I mean when was the last time you guys saw a 460 Fox Tbird? Sure gas milage would suck, it wouldn't handle for shiznit, and I'd need a new tranny and rear end but it would be fast as hell:D .

How about a 460 in a Crown Vic? Talk about "police interceptor". :)

If you're running a Ford "high performance application", as in "competition", most likely you're running a variant of the 460, or 385 engine series. They're used in some of the fastest Ford powered boats, pulling trucks, monster trucks, dragsters, mud racers, etc. etc. etc.

With a blower, they can be made to put out in the neighborhood of 1200 HP. The stock block and rotating assembly is good for 600 flywheel horsepower (no need for aftermarket parts for durability).

Go here: http://www.460ford.com/  if you want to learn how to build one.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
