What is it about late 60’s American iron that is all about enormous? If you want to talk cast-iron excess, perhaps we should mention the Ford 460 motor. At one time during the smog era, the factory Ford 460 engine produced a paltry 206 horsepower. Here at Proformance Unlimited we are glad those days are over!

If you are one to not follow the pack and tend to march to the beat of your own drum then our turn-key Ford 460 crate engine may be the right choice for you. When everyone else is going with smaller and lighter motors in their weekend warriors, you can go bigger and badder. Featuring a Scat cast iron 460 crankshaft, high performance pistons, and Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, our Ford 460 crate engine, pumping out 500 HP, is certain to be noticed sitting between your shock towers.

From custom painted engine blocks to our exclusive March Performance serpentine belt system, Proformance Unlimited can supply you with the crate engine that you have dreamed of and others fear! With over 50 years of shop experience, you can rest assured that we are here to help design and build the engine combination that best suits your vehicles needs. Unlike our competition, we stand by our turn-key crate engines with a one year, unlimited mile warranty.
