    What kind of budget you looking at for the build??? One thing, make sure you get the timing chain set for the older 460's, the one you have is probably retarded for emissions and the older one's aren't... A set of the older 429 heads would also really help the performance... Paul Kane is our resident 460 guru, hopefully he'll stop by with some more specific recomendations on cam and other parts...... Some other's on here I'm sure will have some good suggestions, too. Look through them all and decide what works best with your intended usage....


    PS---If you want to save yourself some grief down the road, and help the performance, spend some extra $$$$$$$ and go with a hyydraulic roller cam.... So many problems with the flat tappet cams losing a lobe or two cuz of the lousy oil the gov'ment has mandated we all have to use... No zinc in it, cam lobes get wiped out. With a hydraulic roller, no such problems, just put it in an go fast!!!!!
