Engine Change
Need advice and direction. I have a restored candyapple red 1978 F-250 4x4 auto everything perfect except the engine. I have a weak oil leaking 400, I don't want another 400. I would like some direction on swapping engines I'm thinking 460,would that work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The problem with the 400, it has been rebuilt once I have always had trouble towing always gets hot. I changed radiators put a bigger one in, it helps driving unloaded but the minute you hook on and head op hill it gets hot.
