Opinions on this 466ci setup

[Azsnake]

I'll post this here instead:

I'm looking at a this 94' cobra with a full 466ci swap hooked up to a c-6 with a 3000 stall. Based on the specs, how reliable would this setup be? Turn key? Daily driveability? What about gas mileage? It appears to be a pretty stout setup

BIG BLOCK 466 , PORTED 69 DOVE HEADS , 1.7 CRANE ROCKERS , MATCH PORTED WEIAND STEALTH INTAKE ,CUSTOM HOOKERS SLIP TUBE HEADERS, 30 OVER 460 , 850 CFM PROFORM CARB JETTED TO 900 CFM , EVERYTHING BILLET VAVLE COVERS , B&M BLOWER AIR CLEANER , ALL BRAIDED LINE TWO FUEL PUMPS , TWO TANKS

What about gas mileage??

You threw that in as a joke right??:shrug:

460s are very reliable, probably not the greatest daily driver however.

Yes, gas mileage question was sarcasm. I figure 10mpg or so.

The drivability is really going to depend on the cam and carb.

If I recall it has the Edelbrock 750 performer?

That's not what is in the first post...

850 out to 950 cfm is a BIG carb which will not have great velocity at low revs especially if it has a big lumpy cam.

Doh! I can't believe I missed that from my first post.

mpg 8-11
drivability yes , how bad depends on the cam, but if i was gauging off the stall i would say you would be fine...reliability is pretty dang good on the BBF's

It has a crane 545 lift cam

As long as its a roller cam or something like that you will be fine. You have to adjust lash with a flat tappet cam about every 1,000 miles.
