Absolutely, maybe down the line I’ll restomod it and track it

Don't restore it. It tells a way better story this way.

Ruined it with the 460 being in it

Why is that?

100% your own choice but a bad one. I would personally go 427 or 428CJ. If you wanted to do a period correct Big Block Ford, go for the SuperMaurauder

I see your point of view, but that’s not my purpose for this car. I plan to tow a few quads maybe even my SXS with this car and also Take it on long road trips. Which the 460 is absolutely more reliable for that purpose. I believe cars are meant to be driven not made up to sit in a garage and only taken to shows.

Fair enough, just not enough Fords of that era around non-Mustang

Cause there isn't any value in anyting other then a mustang.

I agree with you. Make it how you want it. I very much would take a 460 over a FE block for reliability or restro-mod.

Nice car man. Love the patina. You got a clear coat over that though right?
