460 info
This is my first time using this forum. I have a 1966 f100 with a 352. I aquired a 460 with a c6 that I, with some help, will drop in soon. The 460 has emmision set with holley four barrell carb. I would like to possibly know what this engine might have come from or at least narrow down the years. I understand emmission control equipment was introduced in 1973 but was not installed on trucks until 1977 or1978, true? Also, are engine blocks for trucks and cars different colors (blue and grey)? Thanks!!!

There should be a date code and plant number on the outer center edge of the head (C???_)as well as on the block.The block vin would match the car or truck that it was matched to.Also everywhere else like pulleys Hbalancer etc.Should start with either a c or D.. C=60's D=70's.Numbers can be found on the older FE as well.Enjoy

Yes...there also is a number on the intake manifold, exhaust manifold as well as the block and heads. Fo D6te is a 1976 truck motor or part...D6ve is a 76 lincoln motor or part. Sometimes if it is rebuild it will have mixed and match parts from both trucks and lincolns...no difference.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. They helped out quite a bit. The block is blue so its a car engine, lincoln from the sounds of it. The number on the block is D1VE, on the intake D0VE, and on the heads D2VE. A friend of mine said this is normal so I assume the 460 came out of a early 70's lincoln. Thanks again.
