so I just dropped insurance and turned in the plates for my truck this morning. I am taking the current 390 out and building a 460, I am taking the bed off and chucking it in a garbage can along with the other rusted out body panels( drivers door and passenger fender), and am going to redo everything starting with the frame. I really don’t know what I am doing but it should be fun. 😃🍺 I plan on it taking about 2 years so it should be done in about 4 years or so, give or take a decade or two. ☹ ---

> [@Bravada 442](#): > > LS1 is a 346 🌑 > > Are you buying a crate 460 or building one up from a block your going to find? Any ideas on what your going to do, heads, cam, etc…? buying a crate motor is boring, any slapnuts can buy an already built motor and bolt it into a vehicle. my dad has a 1970 460 block, heads, rods, and pistons. I am going to send them to a machine shop to make sure they are ok and to clean them up a little. I’m not looking for tons of power. I do want a streetable idle and be somewhat close to 400hp and a bunch of torque. It’s more of a learning experience than anything. By the time I am done with the truck I will have done everything from bodywork to building an engine to redoing an interior to etc… ---
