He told me that the 460 was still an option.  Perhaps it was the 351m that he
currently has.  I finally got my F-250 back on the road after being parked
for five years.  After a couple of days of running around town the engine
finally woke up and acted like it's old self.  Still flys right up the hills.
Although the things to be expected after sitting that long have come to
haunt me.  The water pump gasket is leaking (which has always been a problem
with the engine, every couple of years I have to pull the water pump off and
change the gasket). And the radiator has a little leak in the corner.

The Chevy Small Block is very close to that.  It has a 3.48" stoke and a
4.001" bore.
