The 385 series Ford big block is one of the very best ever built. I wanted a 429 so bad, and finally got one into my 55 Ford pickup. What a jewel of an engine it was.

[sidgysoho]

You sir are right on the money. The 429/460 most certainly deserves to front a 6R80. I have a friend with both engines and your kit looks bullet proof. Guess who I am going to tell.

This is absolutely brilliant. If these are still around in 20 years when I retire, I'll be getting one and upgrading my old '68 t-bird. For now, the old school c6 is fine but once it's play time, turning her into a boss 429 w/ this kit will totally transform her into a absolute beast on call, and a cruiser at 75mph just dubbing along sipping fuel at the same time. All while running so much cooler with a locking converter too boot. This kit is absolutely beautiful. Most people have no idea what an upgrade this is to any old school engine. A tire roasting beast with that granny first! Then a fuel sipper with double over and a locking converter. My god, ford big block with a 6R80 would be far beyond having your cake and eating it too. It would be like having your cake and pie and eating them too. Simply amazing.

This is a really slick adapter plate/setup. Very nicely done!

I've been bouncing around the idea of doing a 460 swap in my 09 one day. You have no idea how long I've been looking for this.

I have been looking at different transmissions I can mate to the 460. I was pretty set on trying to get a GM turbo 400. But that's a lot of $ to be able to get one that can handle the torque I'm putting down. I'm super happy this video was recommended to me. 6r80s are supposedly quite stout stock and cheap. Then I can keep everything Ford. I believe that within the next couple of weeks you will have another sale here.

[michschep]

That is the solid answer to all these older motorhome resto's with 460's, that will provide better hi-way travel

[fmerkl]

Will be giving you a call as I have a 2001 F150 4x4 with a 5.42v that i'd like to replace with a 600 inch BBF !

[markjfisher]

I have a 79 ford bronco with a 351m good running motor that I drive on highway regularly excited to see this

[Beav]

Would you guys be able to make the 460 work with the modular ZF6 transmission? I seen in an earlier comment on this video saying you may be able to make that work. If so I would be very interested.

[coperacingtrans]

That is the nicest adapter I've ever seen. Good Job

[mchristr]

Nicely done! I can see this in a street/strip Fox Mustang. Lots of gear ratios and decent torque capacity: the best of both worlds.

[DJPenguino]

I'd love to drop that 460 with that 6R80 trans in a late 1970's Ford F-150 and / or a mid-late 1970's Ford LTD Country Squire. I may get some flack for saying this but I would also install Holley's Sniper EFI on it as well. For the Country Squire, I'd pair that with a 3.25 posi and for the truck I'd go with 3.73 gearing.

This is just what I was looking for. I have been wanting to put a 460 in my 06 Crown Vic but want legs as well. Thought about a Gear Vendors under/overdrive unit on the end of a C6, this would make things much easier

[speedgems]

@ John House - Application dependent, but yes should be considered with a project like this.

[taylorray]

This is awesome! As a owner of a 93 f250, with the 460, i have been wanting to find a way to mate a better trans to it. I will be contacting you guy's for sure. Cant wait till you guys do one for the 10r80. I want a 10 speed for my 460.

[vmature]

So a custom drive shaft is on order? Beautiful work by the way.

[bobhilly]

I so wanna use this in my 78 4wd, just need an adapter to use the transfer case out of it

[robertallen]

So, how does the transmission crossmember mount work? I am assuming we’re not lucky enough for it to bolt straight up to the C6 crossmember.

I’m working on a 1978 Grand Marquis, and no one makes performance parts for mixing and matching all the cool upgrade parts.

I’m assuming I’m going to have to find someone who can make a custom crossmember?
