I am In the process of deciding on Ford BB versus Ford SB engines for my Roadster build . I would like to ask the members of the forum if the weight of a 460 CI engine is significantly greater than a 351 with equivalent gear box, clutch, accessories etc and If so does this adversely affect the handling?
Do the coil overs have to be adjusted to suit. I can see from various photos that there is plenty of space in the engine bay.
From looking around the various aftermarket suppliers I see that heads are about $2000 for the 460 CI. I only want around 400hp, considering that, Is there a cheaper route to go . What size (cfm ) carb would be required? . Do the forum members have suggestions for head, carb, inlet and header combinations. Thankyou.
