nearly 3,000 of them in '96 alone,you say.what about the rest of them 87-97? that's a decade of fuel injected 460 trucks built.how couldn't there be a lot of 460 trucks made,if they built them for a decade? (only counting fuel injected ones of course)

I'm going to need a source on those claims of only 3,000 96 460s being made. I have a hard time believing Ford would have kept the 460 all the way until 97 if the take rate was that low. That's a take rate of 0.5%.

Out of curiosity, how many had 302s? I'd guess around 350,000.

And I actually miss quoted
2,960 CREWCABS had 460s
Reg cabs and supercab numbers were not included
As for 10 years for the EFI 460 being made. Yup and how many are still left on the road and then how many of them do people want to put performance heads on
As for the carburated 460(built from 68-87) you can buy production aluminum heads for $1000 for a pair that outflow a ported set of iron heads

Of course there are aftermarket aluminum heads, carb heads bolt right up.
Use a "carb to efi" conversion intake, with either an efi to carb adapter upside down for stock intake elbow or just buy matching elbow for the intake manifold.

With 26 total posts for the op in that other thread I'm not surprised.
It's straight forward, pick carb heads that suit your goals, carb to efi intake (looks like he added injector bungs to a carb intake), match a horn and throttle body (coupke different ways to do that) and enjoy

I think you have to get the exhaust ports re drilled to move the headers up, I'm not sure if that has to be done with all heads, but the efi headers are forgiving in the sense that they're pretty oversized for the efi ports.

Ive talked to scott on numerous occasions and ported my own F3 heads with his guidance. Hes a very nice guy and willing to help. Anyways out of the box the F3 heads will outflow E7 heads, and the same is true for a mild port job on either head because E7s have smaller valves. However, if you have a flowbench and are a porting expert one can outflow an F3 head with an E7 if aggressively ported AND larger valves are installed but its not easy.
Price Motorsports makes the adapters to bolt carb plenums to EFI heads as well as the adapter to bolt a carb on top of the factory EFI plenum. I dont believe the adapters work backwards, as in using carb heads with an EFI plenum.
Both heads would benefit from decking to bump compression up.
