You can drop in that 460 but you might not like the way you car is gonna handle. That Torino is set up for a Cleveland which is much lighter. If you plan on using that 460, you must upgrade your suspension. Front and rear! Call Dearborn @ 1-800-252-7427. They'll have what you need. Also, don't worry about horsepower. Focus on torque. Obviously you are not building a 1/4 mile car. You have a tank! Build torque! You want to feel the springs of the front seat poke your back everytime you try to push the accecerator thru the floor pan! When you get back home from smashing around town and neck hurts from the trust, you'll then know you have built the right motor. Oh, a bit of caution, don't take any hot corners! You'll notice that 460 wanting to go staight and ignore your choice of direction!!! Long live the Cleveland...
