After spending a lot of time cleaning this block it's come up quite nice and all it needs now is a bore and hone and 1 more hot wash,I would say 95%of the rust has been removed and well worth it

Like I said people are boring them even 4.500 for stroker set ups of coarse getting it sonic tested

Std bore is 4.360 so 60 over is 4.420

A type of citrus tank,460s are very hard to find ATM not many bringing them in anymore as costs are sky-rocketing,and our dollar as well.

Since the heads had a shave I estimated 90cc ,I also bought a std cam and lifters kit ,this big block stuff is really interesting,I'm not using the factory 429cj sump ,if I can find some other cj stuff that will be the next build.

Block is back too,still ain't finished need to buy pistons just deciding on factory dish at 21 cc gives 8.5.1 and flat tops for 50 bucks more at 4cc and 9.5.1 still undecided.

Got the crank back looks good from what it was

Looks pretty good to me and he just called to say the block is ready to pick up after hot tank and rust dip and the crank is ready too

Actually 472 I forgot to mention after he checked the block it was already 030 over,so it's Gunnar get a 060 bore which these blocks handle fine ,some even bore them to 4.500,but 060 over is 4.420.

I got the heads back and they look ok I also gave em 3 coats of ford dark blue and tomorrow if the valve stem seals arrive we can assemble them

I found a cheap new old stock plain 460 sump in Brisbane for $100 and gave it a clean and light coat of ford dark blue,ahh need another can or 2 for block and heads.

Did a quick check with no spring and no retainer but still the same,they seem to fit up normal to the head just that gap or maybe need a retainer to suit those locks ?

My new std valve set came and cam bearings and plug set.yep the valves fit but the inserts are borderline and should be ok for a stocker,I will get the machine shop just to have a quick look at them before final assembly like maybe he can put some new guides in there or something

Doing a lot of research on the 429 cj/scj and they are a very rare engine these days ,as prices for these original factory parts are crazy even in the USA,heads are near non existence to buy I guess that's why so many just build a 460 with spruced up 460 heads so I had another look at my 73 heads and turns out they are the last of the decent ones to play with at 91 cc chamber anything after these are 97cc and if you can find early castings they have even smaller 70 odd cc size these are starting to look good my new valves should lob up next week.

With border set in this afo I wanted to get a glimpse of the emissions sticker somebody had painted over and seems correct 74 or 74 engine

Never seen a multi layer intake b4 ? But who cares it was cheap a new 460 tray is very expensive

Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Let's have a look at these heads they look pretty good to me I have seen a lot worse.also scored a steel tray new off Facebook for less than half price

Does any one knows if the sump plug thread on the Cleveland is larger on the later models
Most the info on the net say it is 1/2inch. The ones on eBay that state size say 1/2 inch. The one in mine is larger? Trying the get a new one. I always thought they were all the same Cleveland crossflow. The socket I use is 3/4. I have another Cleveland her that takes a 7/8 socket?
Thanks Dale
