Installation
(continued)
We buttoned-up our 460 with a Weiand Stealth intake and factory valve covers. For the second time, after discovering we had the wrong timing chain cover, we set our engine back in the motor compartment.

We used a brass bearing from the hardware store to connect the bypass hose from the waterpump to the intake. We turned in down to create a good interference fit.
 
After applying RTV we tapped the bearing in with a hammer, careful not to install it too deep. We needed to make sure the hose clamp had a sufficent surface to clamp on.
     

After tossing the inlcuded end seals and running a nice bead of RTV along the front and rear of the motor, we dropped our Weiand Stealth where it belongs.
 
We torqued the intake down in proper sequence per our shop manual. We prefer to use a 3/8" beam type torque wrench for the lightweight stuff. Intake bolts should be torqued to 30 ft lbs.
     

We used 1/4-20 studs to locate and fasten our valve covers.
 
Another glorious moment in engine building. Even if they are factory valve covers, the "PowerByFord" stamp means business.
     

Installing the bypass hose was not as difficult as the manual suggests. We soaped up the ID with Palmolive and gave it a nice bend. It slipped on with little resistance.
 
At last it was time to hoist our Streetwise 460 into our project car, again.
     

It had been a while since the project car ran. We found the car in a chicken coupe with a 429 by its' side. The Torino was last registered in 1981.
   

Conclusion
A bit over budget, but confident about the intergrity of our 460 we looked
forward to finishing off our Streetwise 460 as the opening story in the
upcoming FordMuscle project car. Rough n' Ready: 1973 Gran Torino. In this article we'll add the final components needed to fire our new motor and prepare our project car for combination street and strip action.

Weiand Stealth Intake for
429 & 460
Since we had the hood clearance we were glad to implement the high rise design of the Weiand dual plane Stealth aluminum intake. Holley offers two Stealth intakes for the 429 & 460 under the Weiand product line. Part # 8012 is designed to accomodate the factory intake port dimension used on standard pre-1988 429 & 460 heads, A good fit for the the Performer RPM 460 head. Part # 8021 uses a larger port to match a CJ and SCJ intake port.
