My Brother in law is buying a boat that has a bone stock 460 in it. Stock down to the points distributor.

What things should i look at/for? He wants to leave it stock and just use it as a cruiser.

anything i should know?

Change out the points for a pertronix electronic conversion kit with matching coil with the matching coil you can remove the ballast resistor.

Bwahaha

lmao

I am a die hard Chevy guy. but this thing is to much of a good deal. And since hes not looking to go fast or anything think itll fit the bill nicely

I'm just pulling your Ford.

He'll I've owned a jet with a 360 AMC, who the hell am I bashing.

Bought the boat sight unseen,  missing a carburetor for $200. Grabbed a carburetor out of a junk puke and used the boat every weekend for almost a year.

Lmao

AMC 360 and a PANTHER?

wow, just wow

Dan'l

AMC 360 and a Castoldi.

Way worse than a Panther.

Lol

Aw man, not the Challenger! I've been hoping it doesn't sell by the time I'm out there.

What's the update about this Ford?

Havent had it out since the first trip...

Pulled the carb off and it was a special kind of fucked up...

I dont remember for sure. But i think the primary side was jetted 80 secondary 68 (from memory, something like that). Had a 4.5 pv... All kinds of crap in it, secondary booster leaked at idle...

Rebuilt the carb, squared away the jetting (70/80 6.5pv) and put it back together

On the trailer it seems to run much much better.

Did a compression test and scared myself, between 100-110 psi. Thought the engine was toast... Did some research and if its the early smog truck engine like i think it is... thats normal...

Gonna run it this weekend, see how it does with the carb fixes.

Is he still hoping for drag boat speeds?
