Shortblock, basic parts: C9VE block, get an OEM 460 crankshaft (you will use the 429 rods, exact same as 460 rods), Speed-Pro L2404-030 pistons, double roller timing chain installed straight up, CompCams Cam Kit (Summit Racing part number COMP Cams K34-247-4, includes cam, lifters, valve springs, retainers, locks, timing chain), 3/4-groove main bearings, balance the rotating assy, etc.

Top End, basic parts: Ported C9VE heads 2.19/1.72 stainless valves, 3-angle valve job, roller rocker valve train, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, aftermarket distributor or Ford OEM Dura-Spark electronic distributor (recurved), Holley 850 cfm carb, List #4781

The above is basic parts only, the rest is typical rebuild parts (gaskets, oil pump, etc) Do not cheap out by purchasing no-name hot rod parts! It can cost you your entire engine.

Your engine will displace 466 cubic inches and have a pump gas friendly 9.6:1 compression ratio.

This is for basic reference only.
