I have had both 400m and 460 engines. The 400 is a good eng made just for trucks with alot of torque for pulling or just being a strong truck.The 460 eng is one of the toughest engs built. My most current 460 i just pulled out of my work truck. the truck is a 95 f450 with utiliy body with 3ton crane air comp welder and every door full of tools for heavy equipment repair. Eng has 283000 miles all under extreme conditions. Eng was still running but skipping i tore down and found crank shaft broke. 1 push rod had come threw rocker arm and 5 more push rods were bent. But the old girl never put me down. she was still running when I pulled her out. I was still making service calls around atlanta area until the the day I pulled the eng. FORDS TOUGHEST ENGINES
