bought a 460
i purchased a 460 out of 75 lincoln continental for $150 about a month ago. its in my garage on a motor stand completely stripped. i lucked up and it has very little internal wear. i plan on building it and eventually putting it into something as a street car. i would like to mat it to a 4-speed and use somewhat normal tires if possible. here's my thoughts so far:
block balanced and blueprinted bored; little or lot, (nice bore spacing) heads ported and polished forged pistons (flat,domed?) semi-wild cam intake to match 1.7 rockers about an 850 carb LT headers electric water pump no a/c i don't know about the ignition and realize cooling will be a problem. My question is if any of you know any good sites or books on buildups like this. i have no idea about the #'s i'll need for the heads, cam, headers, compression, ect. to get em to work together properly. i should be talking to my machine-man soon so i'll know what size over will be needed in the rebuild kit. any help is appreciated.

Word of advice: Never machine and build your motor before your car is ready. You will end up redoing most of it if it sits for any length of time. Also, and 850 carb sounds like overkill to me. I am sure a 750 would be PLENTY on that fairly mild N/A build.

Re: bought a 460
One more thing, if you must use a manual trans, machine the rear of the crank to accept the correct clutch pilot bushing. Have the man\chine shop do this when the crank is out.
This is necessary for a manual set up, but it still allows you to use an auto trans in the future,
