Brianm.  Make sure your 460 Ford Bell housing fits in the chassis as the 460 ford wont fit in many cars that were built for a Chrysler Hemi.

Be sure you have enough postflow because if you don't your tungsten will oxidize. You can see if it has if it turns black.  10 seconds should be enough.

I am a welder and use brake cleaner frequently in my shop.  The danger is using brake cleaner with chlorine in it.  The ultaviolet radiation from a welding arc will cause phosgene gas.  Phosgene gas was used in trench warfare in WW1.  Just be sure to use non-chlorinated brake cleaner (usually in a green can) and marked in an obvious place on the label and avoid the chlorinated brake clean (usually in a red can) and you will be fine.  If you accidentally use the chlorinated stuff you will know immediately because of the smell that most describe as the smell of new mowed hay.  If that happens quit welding and air out the shop and you will be fine.
