Then triple that amount, and wait until you REALLY have that much sitting in the bank to devote to the project. Because that is what it will cost.But that goes for ANY hot rod build. Sometimes you get lucky and it comes in under that amount. But it's never cheap or easy to get it done right.I used to get a lot of comments on my car. It did look cool. It sure was a pain in the ass to drive though. Good luck.where did you get that hood? :D Quote Selected

Reply #38 – October 20, 2006, 02:44:20 PM This place has complete swap kits.http://www.mspmall.com/ddautospec/swapkits.htmlThey say up to 1986 (guessing due to the difference in K-members for 87-88)Here's a basic HOW TO: http://www.jason.fletcher.net/tech/460/460.htmPersonally, if I were to swap in a 460 I'd go fuel injected. You could find the components (injectors, manifold, throttlebody, computer, wiring harness, etc...) in a junkyard that has some mid to late '90's F-250's and F-350's Quote Selected
I'm gonna do it. Reply #39 – October 20, 2006, 04:22:21 PM I wouldn't run the OEM EFI setup unless you want 500 ft-lbs at 1000 rpm and nothing over 2500...Carbs are pretty easy! And they let you do anything you want to the heads and cam. Quote Selected
