Well if it's a Ford 400 then I'd stick with it. The 400 has a longer stroke than the 460. It makes around 300 ftlb of tq at 1400 RPM :smokin: . If you rebuilt it and gave it some room to breath I think you'd have a nice motor on your hands. High torque at low RPM's and decent horsepower. Hope things turn out for the best.
