Yeah 4.6l --- 7.7l
A lot more low-end torque too!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't some people put a Buick V- 8 in
Tailwinds? That would weigh more than a 470, wouldn't it?

Don't think so Jim. I had an 0-470 sitting in my shop and can testify
that it was a LOT more difficult to lift using my block and tackle
than the two Ford V6's I offloaded. The block and tackle almost
couldn't lift the 0-470 but easily hoisted the V6's.

I know it's anecdotal, but this was with a stripped block to boot.
The 0-470 did not have the starter attached, nor did it have the two
mags or generator or the pressure regulator for the prop. It was just
very very heavy even without all those things.

Not to labor the obvious, but there IS a little size difference between
4.6 liter and 470 cubic inches...
