Hey guys, Found a 76, mid 80,000 mile 460,C6 out of a Lincoln. Will that tranny hook right up to my 79, F150?

That is correct. PA74f250. I thought that it may not work.
Is the 76 engine worth messing with. Someone at work said no. No horses.

Internal balance: Block casting number D1VE-6015-AB, or A1B or A2B:

1971/73 Ford/Merc 429; 1971/78 Lincoln/Continental Mark III/IV/V 460; 1973/78 Ford/Merc 460; 1973/76 F100 460; 1973/78 F250/350 460; 1975/78 F150 & E250/350 460.

Some 1979 F150/350 & E250/350 460.

No: 460's in cars after 1978, in F100's after 1976.

A 1979, 460 just came up for sale. Is this worth building? External balancing?It is out of a truck. Should have all the brackets that will work. Unlike the 460 out of the Lincoln I was also considering.

1979 460 could be internal or external balance.

If the block casting number is D9TE-6015-AB = External Balance, has a weighted crank spacer.

If the block casting number is D1VE-6015-AB or A1B or A2B = Internal Balance.

1979 460's installed in F150/350's (except F150's sold new in CA) and E250/350's. No car came w/a 460 after 1978.
