    I've heard the term time and time again but never thought I'd see one. Question is, who'll admit to what it is?

    looks more like the 351m/400 to me....

    (homework: find pics of the back of 460 and 400 blocks, and report your findings)

  8. A little Marvel in the cylinders and she may break free. Possibly a clean up hone job and some valve seals...

    I'd change the oil before trying to start it. There might be some condensation (or a lobster) in the pan.

    There was a marine vessel called a Corvette but they were bigger and would have demanded more than Ole Rusty could muster...
