Hello everyone.
So I've finally got some time to work on my 71 F100 Short bed.
I found online a big block 460 bored .60 over for very cheap. It comes with a c6 transmission and torque converter but not really worried about those. Sense I have a 4 speed manual trans in it. I have a 351w in the F100 now but it's not firing on one of the cylinders for some reason.
I'd like to have a little more power !
So my question is would the 460 just swap in and bolt to the trans with out swapping anything ?
And what's the cubic inch of a 460 bored .60 over ?
And how trust worthy is that ?
Thanks everyone

 

The trans ought to work, getting a clutch disk to work with the 460s pressure plate and the trans input shaft splines is the issue, but it shouldn't be that had to work out.

Bellhousing is a whole 'nother animal. You'll need to find a bell for a 460 that will work with your trans. Not an awful lot of 460 manuals made, so the bells aren't always the easiest to find. And the newer trucks don't count because the ZF5 had the bell integral with the trans so you can't use one of those bells with your trans.
