I have been waiting all afternoon to post this picture,I got under my new xe project car and here it is ladies and gentlemen the 2.53 borgy,I'm sure I'm reading the tag correctly, 1st one I have ever seen in the flesh and owned. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ahh I see,the 2.53 could be 3 on the tree ratio ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Efi auto would have 2.92 or 2.77 in sedan.but interesting talking point is the 4 speed single rail in efi sedan ratios in the gearbox are different Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

All done,I had to buy a tool to put the oil screen on,and my stand is leaning over,maybe I should take it off ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ok I got it soughted and the finish line is not far away. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

New dilemma apparently the backing plate needs a gasket as well,strange how my book does not mention this ,nor does the full felpro gasket set come with one,I looked up some usa forum's and some say just use a bead of sealer if you don't have the correct gasket kit,this is why I always do a dummy up of things first now let's undo it all and get it right,then use the rtv sealer.

460s are getting like the 400 ,very hard to find one,and std bore pfffff ,no one is bringing them in because our dollar is not good and freight has sky-rocketed from USA. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I still have the other block at 030 and managed to find a set of main caps but wondering if it's even worth paying $700 odd dollars to get it line bored ,if I did ,is a 030 block even worth that much ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Finally my parts arrived,nice edelbrock covers,water pump and tomorrow put oil pump and sump on,building this 460 from scratch has been a battle. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Got the balancer on with new key,also timing pointer,man these are a big engine,very similar in size to the 400. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Yeah thanks Jack it's almost done I just put the factory manifold back on it and it fit so good,I tossed the new stamped steel oven tray and put the felpro ones on it with a tad of gasket sealer in the corners [emoji3] and yeah my tiny engine stand is on the limit with this done and it still needs the oil pump and sump on it and its all done I think.

Got the heads on ,and rocker gear,preload was fine at 3/4 of a turn,correct oil drive is in the mail. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Pistons are in ,chain is on,oil slinger and alloy cover also loosely bolted on for a look ,crank sleeve on,also got sent an incorrect oil drive it's about a inch too short, but overall it's going together as planned Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Got the rear painted and back on the stand and crank in with cam in and 95ft on the mains Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Ok block is cleaned and painted and put the core plug set in tomorrow will drop the crank in and maybe a piston or 2 Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Well it could be , problem is evrytime I take a pic on that driveway the camera makes it look x5 worse than it actually is,if in the garage they seem to be fine,interesting thing about scratches I once took a 400 clevo crank to the machine shop to get it milled and he said that big scratch won't affect its performance,he could have easy said ahh yeah m8 $350 to mill it but he didn't and just got the crank linished and it was fine I guess maybe what angle the scratch or scouring is.

I thinks it just run off from the still a bit dirty head bolt holes ,I took that picture about 1 minute after wd40 it and turning it around on the stand. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Update,I got the block back in better than I thought cond,then spent a few hrs giving it its 2nd final clean,wd it,now wait a few days before painting the block,he fitted the pistons as well,also scored a timing pointer this morning. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk
