Hello - moving to this thread
Hey folks. As you can see by my signature, I have a brick nose. No, I am not off my meds and lost.....I think this forum may be more in line with what I'm driving, and I may have more to offer here than in the 97-96 forum. My truck was converted to a carb 460 by a previous owner. I have minimal electronics and very little is stock.
Most of the threads in the 87-96 forum seem to involve checking MAF sensors, running OBDII, and other non-mechanical that no longer applies to my rig. Long story long, I'll be around here, trolling if you need me!

Welcome! We have a couple of other '87 owners on here and we help them so I'm confident we can/will help you. And, because of those two, Jim and Brandon, I've usually included 1987 info on my web site.

Neat site Gary. Love the name Garagemahal. After looking at your flywheel part numbers, it looks like there are a few options for the 460 flywheel (11" or 12" clutch.) Most info floating around this site and others indicates that from 1979-1997, the same flywheel was used on all 460's. My problem is that I have no idea what year my engine is so I am having trouble pinpointing the correct part. My VIN isn't any help since the truck was originally a 5.8 - any suggestions?

Thanks.
I don't know much about 460's. I see on the other thread that you've had good response, and those guys know much more about the big-block than I do. But, have you checked the casting number on the block?

Another brick in the bullnose section, I don't post as much in this section but the information is still very relevant to our trucks and the folks are friendly and knowledgeable!
I love bullnose trucks and I used to have an 86.
I assume the zf 5 was swapped in, or was it an option in 87?

It was originally an automatic with a 351. The 460 has EFI front dress and the ZF-5 is of 1988 vintage. I like the vibes of this thread a bit better than the OBS section - more mechanical, less electrical.
