Personally I would step up to the 560 rear and definetly use a p-pump!!!

I agree with Tim1573, if your going to run a 466 you better be looking at a 560. The rearends in the 460 can't handle the horsepower. You will be spending a lot of money building rearends.

I am running a 560 on alky, I run with some guys that run 460's with 301's and they have a hard time keeping there rearend in tact.
