little question about a 460

MustangBullitt · January 23rd, 2011, 07:56 PM

Im about to buy a 76' F100 with a built 460 in it. ported and polished, cammed, head work...all the good stuff other than a supercharger lol. anybody know if running it on the highway for long periods of time will hurt it? guy im buying it off of says at 75mph itll be around 3300 rpms. seems pretty high but from what i hear its a pretty tough motor. anybody know if thatll hurt it at all?

Try driving my car. 75 mph = 4K RPMs in 6th gear.

Shouldnt hurt it. We have a 76 F250 at my farm with a 460 auto, and at 55 its right around 2750-3000, and we've never had a problem with it. If you're worried about it, swap some new gears in it.

even with different gears, that 460 will have enough torque to help you scream to 60.
