No. Options were 302, 351 (Windsor or Modified, no choice), 400m.

I was under the impression that there were a handful of early '77s (made in '76) with 460s....however, in fords big picture for the late 70's the 460 didnt make the cuts for the mid size lineup

Like the tagline... More like 'el crappo'! LOL
Yeah, the late 70's 460's are not too impressive... I have one in my '76 pickup. I can't even squeel the tire with the open rear! My 351M in my '78 is better at it!
I will be correcting that soon... a 600 or 650 cfm Edelbrock or Holley should help out (I want low end and midrange power, all below 6000 rpm)
Of course, the '71 timing set is slated next, then heads, cam...
