Lincoln 460 swap
Hi
I hear that from 1978 on, the car 460s were different than the truck 460s. Is this so? and what are the differences? Would I be able to swap a late 80s Lincoln 460 into my 79 F100?
Thanks in advance

Not without a Rear sump oil pan & 429/460 TRUCK motor Mounts.
What's in the Truck Now?

I don't believe that Lincoln used any 460's after around 82. They all got stuck with 302's or 3.8L's. Anyway, The main difference depends on what type of Lincoln it is. I have a 77 F150 that had a 351W in it, I took a 460 out of a 77 Mark V. It had the hydro-boost 4 wheel disc brakes on it so the power steering pump has 2 return lines. I just blocked the upper one off.If you already have a 460 in it,then all of your assesories will work. I had to fabricate a high pressure P.S. hose because the car used a GM style saginaw pump. You will need the frame mounts from a 460 doner truck, and truck exhaust manifolds( at least the pass side, the drivers side fits ok) or you must notch the frame rail to clear the car manifold at the bottom. The holes should already be in the frame for the 460 frame mounts, mine were. If you have any more questions, write back. Jimmy

My internet connection went on the blink, hence the late reply. Genuine, I saw a 88 Lincoln with a 460 (sicker on the valve cover read 7.5l 460 CID) in the breaker yard. I thought that that would be a nice swap, since I suppose that motor has not worked very hard in a passenger car in about 12 years.
Since then I have decided to scrap the idea for a later date. It's too damn cold now to work on my truck! So if I want to do the swap then later I would need TRUCK motor mounts, and a rear sump pan. I currently have a 351M so I know the C6 will bolt on.
Cheers

But, You will still need a 429/460 torque convertor too.
The 351/400 TQ doesn't fit.
Been there,done it ,got the movie!

I've worked on many Lincolns and have never seen one in any late 80's models. The Haynes manual only shows the 3.8L, 5.0 And later models 4.6 Mod. motor. It could either be a 78 or a transplant. Is it EFI ? Almost all Fords after 86 are EFI. If you go by it again, look on the bottom of the emmisions sticker where it says 7.5L/460. It should say "This vehichle conforms to the standards for the 19XX model year. See what year is on this and it will tell you what year the engine is. I have never seen one in that late of a car, but there is a first time for everything. I am curious now. On another note, you can use a car oilpan as long as it is not a double sump with 2 drain plugs. It just makes the drainplug a bit tougher to get to, since it is on the side of the pan and lays in the cradle. It also only holds 5 quarts instead of 6 like most trucks. That is how mine is until I find a truck pan and pickup tube. Good luck when you go to swap it. JImmy
