460 four bbl

[9299Fords]

Can someone tell me if the 1978 460 with a (I think) stock 4 bbl is worth picking up for a rebuild or should I look for something older? Did a 460 ever come with a four valve head?

Tried to search for more info but the search function isn't working for me just now.

All 460s came with a 4 barrel carb of some kind until they went EFI. A 1978 was after the compression drop and the cam timing retard. But may or may not be internallt balanced. But would be good base for a rebuild. There was never a 4 valve per cylinder, head for the 460 or the 429 for that matter.

im with bear,
460's never had 4 valve heads,

but ya can decent power (500 hp or so) fairly cheap, if the 460 is a good price id pick it up----there becoming more and more rare
