Hi All. Just got approved to the forum and do like what I am seeing. Have had a 57 Custom 300 2dr in the garage for 20 years and picked away at it when time and money permit. Now retired and have the time. My car had a 223 in it but is now a 466 big block backed up with a C6/E40D combo, with a 350 posi rear. I am at the point of exterior body work and final assembly. Hope to contribute as well as learn.
Welcome, sounds like a stout drive line. Mark

Welcome to the Forums!
Welcome to the forum... I'm sure that you are going to tell us what a 466 is. We will be looking for some pictures of your custom 300. Jay
Welcome! Glad you are with us, can't wait for pics!

Am guessing that its a .030 over 460.

As with the others, Welcome to the Forum. Retirement is "greatly under rated," but, it does make it harder to scrape up funds to do some of the things that should have been done when still gainfully employed. Guess you just can't have everything.

Probably a .030 over 460 Rich..
Oops...late, should have read on down, lol...
That was my first thought, but without doing the math I was thinking a cleanup rebore would have brought it up more than 6cu. in's..but your probably right.
Is southwestern Ontario Windsor? OP said 460 with C6. Yep, thats all you get with .030 bore is six cubes.
Thanks for all the replys. Yep a 460 bored .030 will give you 466. I live just outside London Ontario for the member who asked. Also I went back to work 3 days a week after retirement just to fund the toys. Wife has other ideas as to where the extra funds should go. HA
Sorry. Forgot to ask what the process is to post pics. I have an android phone and a digital camera, just need the instructions. I am also a beginner at computer stuff. :canada:
There are other members in southern Ontario...along the 401 corridor. I'm in the Michigan International Speedway area.

Welcome to the forum. You can't help but learn something here. Like how this computer works,...or not.
I'm also running a 460 with a C6 in my 57, but, can you tell us more about the C6/E40D you are using?
I think Julios C6-AOD trans.is the low gear set.You end up with a 2.75 low and a bit lower 2nd gear.High is still 1 to 1.Works very well.I knocked off two tenths in my 60 foot time along with a 3000 stall convertor and almost a half a second on the run.

Welcome from another Canuck.
welcome to a great sight. I have a question about your 300, is it a Canadian built Ford and if so are there trim differences. I'm retired as well, with the idea I would do all the work on my car, but My car needed body surgery that was beyond my skill level. My Fairlane 500 is in the paint mod and when back the work will start to put it back together. I went with the 4.6 4 valve Cobra supercharged engine with 6 speed trans, 4 wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion and vintage air. I hope to get another 57 later that I can do the work myself, learned allot so far. The 57 Ford are my favorite 50's car
