Swapping boat engine
We have an early model 460 with carburetor (circa 1976) in a boat. We need to exchange motors and have a line on a 1994 460 engine, fuel injected. Will the carburetor manifold we have fit in place of the fuel injected manifold and just run a carbureted manifold? Since this is for a boat there is no computer, no port for the exhaust sensor, and no sensor for the speed control. It’s a plain and simple carburated motor. Thanks.

Welcome to FTE.
You probably have this figured out by now. The carb and EFI heads are different, and the manifolds do not interchange.
You can get a carb adapter for the EFI manifold. Item number 2199:
Carburetor Adapters
The balance of the 460 changed in 1979, so whatever flywheel set up you have probably can't be swapped over unless the old engine was rebalanced.
Is your current engine reverse rotation?
