If this is the old 462 found in Lincolns, it is hardly performance material. But they were powerful for their time and moved those 5000 pound cars pretty well.

I'm partial to the 429 Ford myself, had them in stock cars (claimer class) because nobody would ever put a claim against it. The right cam would wake it right up. The valves and ports were huge. The 1st one I had came from a '69 Mercury which even today is a preferred pre-smog engine. Then we played with stroked 460s, out to 496 cubes. These made gobs of power.
