460 in the billy cart?

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.

yes i would say you are correct bear,i also havent had the dredded phone call from him saying arrr we need to fully reco these heads cause it aint gunna happen,if im going to go animal on a set of big block heads they will be pro comp or other alloy castings.

Looks like cast iron from this shot. 

Sorry I meant seats. I was lucky when I got mine done up, someone had done inserts before. Guides needed doing though.

you mean the valve stem or seats ? as it was they are untouched from new he reckons and still ok to use there is very little if any wobble from side to side,but the seats just needed a spruce up,being a 1973 or 74 engine its possible this is a unleaded engine ,i think they started using or introduced it in 1971 ?.

there is also good news on the heads,olm8 is machining them and cutting the seats to seal better,he did just 1 seat while i was there and the difference was incredible from what they were.

Did they already have inserts or just factory hardened iron?

There should be a little gap, on single groove valves. The multi groove don't have the gap so the valve can rotate.

In that photo of the pedestals, the one on the left doesn't look happy, like the head was dropped and landed on that. Is it still ok?

I would do the valve guides, if they're sloppy they'll flog the seats out and also cause oil consumption. For the little extra, it's worth doing right.

also i read last night that my sump needs a police/cobra jet oil pump and pick up,as a std one has the wrong angle to fit,there is about 10 million different pumps and pick ups for the big block ,sumps as well.

Hey check this out a cobra jet 429 sump and used is $299 American I have the same frigging one that I got cleaned up and almost chucked it in the bin,the std sump has no tray.

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.
