Ford Racing has taken its Boss Block over the max with it's biggest small block Windsor crate engine ever - the Z460. With 575 horsepower and 575 Lb. Ft. of torque, Z460 packs a pump gas fueled punch that works well on the street and on the track.
The foundation of Z460 is the legendary Ford Racing Boss block topped off with high port/high flow Z-Heads. Premium components from the best aftermarket companies are used throughout the engine, like a SCAT forged steel crankshaft, SCAT forged H-beam connecting rods, forged Mahle pistons and Clevite bearings. And every Ford Racing Z460 engine is hand assembled in the U.S. with performance clearances.
