Mine's got a rebuilt 460 in it, taken from a '73 Mercury.
Heads are decent castings (not the shitty '72 heads), but at some point will be replaced or at least ported on the exhaust side.
And needs some shorty headers.
Has a 750 Holley carb,
Edelbrock Torker II intake,
Accel coil and Street Billet distributor,
Dual exhaust thru Cherry Bomb glass packs,
C-6 auto trans with Hurst V-matic 2 shifter.
4.10 gears in a 9" rear end with a Detroit Locker.
Rear end also had the goofy stock springs replaced with some stout leaf springs and steadied with ladder bars.
Needs about $1000 worth of tires this winter. Old weather-checked bias-ply M/T Indy Profiles ride awefully, but will smoke and burn to thier death before they get swapped out.
The original radiator needs a small leak fixed and an electric fan w/ shroud added. Gets a bit hot at times!
Lots of other small jobs needed as well. My coolant catch can is currently a Miller High Life tall boy tucked in beside the battery! Something to tinker with over the next decade or so....
Bastard starts hard though. Like its out of gas, but it isnt. I think its timing related. I am by no means a motor-head, but I guess I will be eventually.
