It's the truck I want to keep for a long time if not life. I'm willing to throw down cash to rebuild my engine and tranny etc.

Hope that answers your question unless you have something in paticular you'd like to know.

Well that answers part of it. I was wondering if you had 3.55s since you had 35s cause I am curious how 3.55s hold up with 35s. Last set of 35s I had on a 460 had 4.30 gears.

Was just curious if it was sluggish or something.

I love 460s but nothing will make me love the 302 351 or V10 more.

Basically what I've gathered on my end is no loss of power. That being said - a 460 you get the same mpg unloaded as you would loaded so may aswell lift it and put bumpers and crap on it to get the most out of it!

Sorry if I came across rude not my intentions!

I've got a TTB front end though I think Cam is solid front axle? Unless we got the same lift. I got mine with dual steering stabilizers!

no problem you didn't come across rude I probably just confused you like I usually do. LOL
so far that I have on my brothers 91 F250 460 is a big Warn winch bumper 2" lift, dual steering stabilizers and more. I am just waiting to find a nice rear bumper (probably like a ranch hand), a good winch and some 35s then I will be set on that truck. Just hope the E4OD doesn't hate me to much. (I am more of a C6 guy).
