Give Darren a call at Mcnaughtons engine reconditioning at wallsend ph49501640, 18 council st wallsend. He built my brothers 351 with 4mab crank roller rockers hypertec pistons etc and it goes real hard. They built me a 30 thou over standard 302 and it went real well. Dont know how clever he is with 460's though.

Just rang my brother he said try and find COME Racing they built his mates 351 and it kills his big statement cause his is qik.

Cheers
steve

I live not too far away (walking distance) from Phil's and regularly see nice cars in and out of their! Been around a long time and he loves his Fords.

im have never found a good mechanic to date, so i really have know one to recommend to you, i was recommended rockape engineering by an engineer at my brothers work.
i did speak to the bloke there but did not go ahead with the build he seemed very knowledgeable but really wanted me to just drop him the engine tell him output and usage required and let him go for it. ( not really what i wanted)
the bloke is in sydney so i would prob go with phils if its easier for you
