Maybe oil filter too.Flywheel? Do you know of a link for this swap?Any help will be really nice..Thanks idontno [Reply]  [Send Email]

The only thing I'd be concerned with is the balancer situation.I'd call Ford and ask about that. I know some of the '76 460's had a seperate weight behind the balancer, and I don't know if you'd need to remove it or not, some of them had a spacer between the balancer and block. If you need any more help, I have a great old Ford guy in my neck of the woods, email me and I'll see what he says. don't be discouraged. Pay close attention, and take pictures if possible. GOD bless you.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

A new short engine thru ford at my cost was like 2700 for new but no i had to buy a Dodge with a cummins . Atleast the Ford never had to have new wheel bearings and the A/C in the ford would freeze ya out the Dodge need to be fixed and that is and all day job .   [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't believe the 460 had anything but auto transmissions up until the neighbor hood of 1985, and the late flywheel will not work on the early 460 because of the way the early and late 460's were balanced. A 390 standard flywheel will work on the older 460's and run smooth, but you will need a zipper on the starter and transmission until you get the right ring gear on the flywheel. And I don't remember the ring gear number.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The flywheel is from a 390. The bellhouseing I used is from a race supplier because a friend had it laying around but you can get the whole set up from Advanced adaptors. Exhaust is via headers to a custom built dualy set up. Pulls great and eats gas.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

So unless your F350 has one of these engines--quite unlikely from the factory--you're going to have to also figure in a transmission swap [or a bellhousing swap, if the truck has a manual tranny...as well as chasing down a 460 flywheel.]. This doesn't even include the fuel injection system...standard in '90 Ford trucks, but unheard of on a '77 Lincoln. This means that you'll either have to find a way to use the fuel injection's in-tank pump, fuel pressure regulator and tank return line on a carbureted engine, or adapt the 460 to fuel injection from a late-model truck engine [which also means an ECM swap], or else bypass the in-tank pump and use the mechanical pump from the '77 engine. Also, the '77 engine used a Duraspark distributor, while the late-model EFI engines use an electronic, computer-controlled distributor with the TFI module. Now, I'm NOT saying you shouldn't do the swap: I'm just saying, if you're gonna do it, go into things with your eyes wide open.   [Reply]  [Send Email]
