I have a 78 ford with a 460 in it and I was wondering how I could get more power and better gas mileage. i was also wondering around how much it would cost to switch engines with my 77.

 

Simple. Take off all the doors, hood, bed and all the sheet metal. Take off the air cleaner, muffler, water heater, fan and thermostat. Add 120 lbs to the tires. Toss out the spare tire. Take out all but 5 quarts of oil and only 2 gallons of gas. Junk the seats and use a plastic chair. Remove the side mirrors, antenna bumpers and door handles. Last, pull out the 460 and put a Prius engine in it's place.

 

as funny as that is, its the TRUTH!! those things are TANKS and you want better mileage??? and more power??? what do you use it for that the 460 aint enough??? better yet get your wallet out and get a few year old F250 7.3 lt powerstroke!!!

 

Cold air intake ........
