For some reason I want to say a later EFI 460 is not easily converted to carb, something is different about the heads. But let's wait for someone who knows for sure on the 460. The 302 and 351w are easily converted.

Intake and exhaust ports are both different and will not mate to carbed manifolds.

You need to find an engine with D3 heads to use your intake manifold.

You can get EFI exhaust manifolds and an adapter plate from Price Motorsport (CS-460EFI) CS-460EFI

The EFI lower intake and heads flow better than stock carbed anyhow.
