1974 Ford 460 Thermoquad engine Stk.(factored@300hp)...looking for experienced racer

ALMACK · 06-29-2010, 11:32 AM

I am looking to talk to someone that has experience with the 1974 460 for Stock Eliminator.
I know that engine is popular in the S/Stk GT classes, but I have yet to hear about anyone running it in Stock GT or the regular Stock classes.

I have a D4 Thermoquad, and am looking for the correct casting intake:
D3VE-AB
D4VE-BB
D4VE-CB

Anyone with experience please send a pm or call (502) 460-5004.

Thanks,
Alan Mackin

I really hate to say this, but I don't believe there is such a class as S/GT ! SS, yes !
But, you may be right !..............Later........ John

Stock/GT is an IHRA class car.

Edit: I see Ed treed me on the response...lol

John:
Stock GT...it's in the 2010 IHRA rulebook (unless they eliminated it already.)
Class allows a 1979 or earlier engine in a 1980 and later body.

I forgot about the other HRA, Sorry ,,,,,,,,,John

Bill and Grace Howell ran this combo for many years in SS/GT. Jim

I moved down south here to South Carolina and found a really clean 84 Olds Culass, nothing like you can find up in NY. I still have my 396/325 BBC combo Stocker motor and with all the IHRA tracks around I am building a GT/Stk car. Will run B or C Should be fun, I plan on running a Stick (Jerico) too.

Colin Wigle is running this combination in his MPR built car. Howell's had his old car.

You sure about that? Colin spent a fortune getting a 71 429 SCJ combo worked out for GT/AA. While the 429 is the same engine family as the 460, the 429 was built for performance and responded pretty well to Colin's efforts. I'd be surprised if he abandoned it for the 460.

Colin told everyone at the BB Ford tech seminar in 2009 that he had a '70 or '71 (cannot remember which year) 429 CJ combo in his SS/GT Stang. (unless he has changed his combo since then)
