Where I live, there's three guys with 460's in their cars. The swaps didn't cost too much money. No more than a 351 swap would. You just have to know where to find parts.

That said, 460, all the way. Trust me, a 351 would need heads, cam, intake plus a stroker to feel close to a 460. That's why the truism is "There's no replacement for displacement." Weigh what you need to get for either swap, including motors and work out a budget, then do what ever is the easiest in that sense. Not in what will fit and what won't because both will fit, both will keep the brakes, etc... Hope that helps.
