460 engine code???
 

I need help with an engine code on a 460 that I have. The block code is DIVE-A2B. Can't seem to find anyone that can decode that for me.Local dealer and largest salvage yard can't. I need to know year,HP and torque. Any help would be appreciated..Thanks.

460 engine code???
 

D1VE-A2B

D=the decade D = the 70's

1 not I

1 is the year of the decade 1 = 1971

V = Car line designed for V = Lincoln

E = Ford's department of design
E= Engine

A2B = Change-up of part design letters/number
this has had numerous design changes by the time is was cast


Where are the numbers between E -????- A2B

9425 ? = Intake manifold
6015 ? = Engine Block


Where are the actual *date of cast* characters?

ie: * 1B25 *

460 engine code???
 

Hey thanks Denis. There were no #'s between the E and the A2B.
I got that code off the block by the starter. Should there be more #'s there? Also any idea what the HP would be on that engine?
Thanks again for your help!......Steve.
