    tell them exactly what you are wanting. If you want new pistons and everything. Tell them... Don't let them assume anything

    That just means it uses and external balancer and has been ground .010. So you'd use .010 over bearing and still would need to have a machine shop balance it

    Alright, I'll call say I have a ford 429 and I have a 460 crank,, I'd like new pistons and connecting rods, bored, heads ported and polished with bigger valves, and the oil valleys and piling ports, I guess that's what they are called, cleaned up and larger. That correct?

    Do you really have any idea of what you're trying to do?

    A 460 isn't that hard to get in a 460, it would e carbed, c6 trans, it's not very hard to get 550 or 600 horsepower from a 460, I've done the research and planned it out.

    Not making fun of you, asking a serious question. You're all over the place asking things an saying you did research an to be honest it really doesn't seem like you have any idea what you're doing. "A 460 isn't hard to get in a 460" what does that even mean? 550-600 isn't too hard to get out of a 460 but it's still going to require alot of work and know how and money. Not just throwing a cam in there an hoping for the best. We're here to help but you have to have some sort of plan, I've built plenty of engines and unless you have it planned out and all your parts work together it's just gonna be a paperweight
