Guys, I came across this Ranchero with the biggest ports on a head I've seen in a long time. This motor had big headers and everything. What motor is this? Are these heads stock? Sheesh these ports are HUGE!

385 series 429/460. Looks like the ports could suck down a tennis ball.

I briefly owned a a Ranchero GT with the 460...no other Ford engine that old had such big, or round ports....not stock, anyway
