NOTE: This 460 big block has domed pistons and is a High Compression racing engine — 200 psi. It was not designed for street use. Due to high compression, engine will be difficult to start when hot, even with a high-torque starter.
There are 2 known issues with the truck: 1) a small scrape on the side of the driver's running board (see included photo)2) it is believed that the camshaft has a flat lobe at #7 cylinder as valve travel is not as expected. As a result, while the engine runs well, it will eventually overheat due to cylinder #7 not firing correctly.
Since buyer may wish to 'downgrade' the engine to normal specifications rather than continue use as a dragster, we have determined to leave this repair to the buyer.
