460 lifters
ive got a 76 ranger xlt unsure of motor as it was replaced with a lower mile motor I belive from a 80's lincoln I hear a ticking from the motor which I believe is due a stuck or bad lifter my question is are there any ways to tell for sure or would I have take apart the motor to see also I saw somewhere that the early model lincoln engines had solid lifters instead of hydraulic which would you guys say is better if I end up replacing them just using the truck as a daily driver to and from school/work so it won't be pulling much or be under a heavy load

Not sure but I am not finding any Lincolns in the 80's with a 460. First Lincoln I found going backward was a 78 contintental with a 460. Engine valve cover bolts below. The casting number on the heads might narrow down the year, if they haven't been changed.
Like they said above it could be several different things, even carbon build up on the pistons. Good luck
- 2 bolts: 239/256/272/292/312 (produced from 1954 to 1964)
- 5 bolts: 332/352/360/361/390/391/406/410/427/428 (FE engine)
- 6 bolts: 221/260/289/302/351W.
- 7 bolts: 429/460.
- 8 bolts: 351C/351M/400.
