263 in a 460

[Curt C]

Anyone ever put a 263 in a 460 for pulling and if so how did you build it and how did it do?

You can put a 263, it will fit the same as the stock engine, but most just skip right to the 301. Unless you just already have the engine or a really good deal, it would be best to go for a 301.

Thank you

You can put a 263, crank in your block. Then put in 263 pistons. That block can be bored for 291 sleeves and pistons, maybe even run 291 pistons with no sleeves, but I'm not sure of the parent bore of your block. Might be cheaper to find a 301 or 291 to start with.

Can 301 pistons fit in a 460 block with no sleeves?

Easy. Some pullers are running 4"" pistons. I am running 3 15/16.
