Beautiful work. Not sure if I'll ever build a 335 Series for myself, but these engines sure seem capable. You've definitely changed my view on these beasts!

like said before, I am not 400 bias, just Ford bias.
There is no replacement for the size that the 460 can do.
But I deal with people on a daily basis that people are considering pulling
the 400 and putting the 460 in because the 400 is such a pooch.
And in reality we have proven that the 400 built correctly can do just fine.
What I hear from others is that the 460 swap is not a simple drop in.
Until you build a 400 correctly, you will never realize the power they really have. About 450 lbs of torque is a lot, and that is nothing trick at all. And people who bad mouth them saying that they are junk and there brothers, sisters, friend, uncle build one and it was junk, is just misleading.
BUT again, the 400 can not replace the full potential a 460 can do. But it can do what the large majority wants with ease.
