I need to know when my truck was produced to get the right set of gaskets according to the parts store computer. It is a 86 f-350 but I need to know if it was before or after 02/86. What is the diffrence if there is one. how can I know what to get.

 

is it carbed or fuel injection that is what the difference is that they are actually looking for.

 

so you are saying that there were both efi and carbed 460's in 1986? I didnt think the efi on a 460 came out until like the 88 model trucks. Anyone know when 460's went to efi? I just got gaskets for a 85 I hope it works. Mine is carbed so what do you think. I bought mr gasket gaskets from summmit the whole kit was like 45 bucks. Will this work. I also went ahead and got a seperat valley pan from felpro as well. opinion????

 

well give you the one clue on dates the first EFI heads casting number is a E7 number making them a 87 revision, yes in very late 86 would could possibly find a few EFI units.

 

My truck is a January 1987 build and is stock carb'd From what I have seen just looking for a vehicle to purchase, EFI 460's started appearing late March/April of '87.

 

thanks for the responces fellas. good information to know. So the gasket set I bought for a obviously carbed 1985 should work fine for my carbed 1986 460 right.

 

yep should be just fine.
