Allen, the engines you're asking about have differant bell patterns so you would need a new bellhousing. What are you hoping to gain here ? As much as I love FEs, most folks are not putting smaller engines in place of large ones. DF

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 30-May-01 AT 11:03 PM (EST)[/font][p]that would not make much sense. but they will get mileage in the same ballpark, yet much more powqer potential with 460, and no they dont have the same bolt pattern, unless the 460 is worn out and u have a good 390 to go in, then i could see it, what kinda vehicle is this?

This usually includes having to change the oil pump and pick-up tube as well. I don't know why you would want to change out a 460 for a 390. Besides changing bellhousings, you would also have to change the frame perches.

PAW has a rear sump pan for the ford 4x4 with a 460 swap....the pan is made by Milodon, has a deep sump, and is $279.95 P/N: 30570...but you will need a pickup for a rear sump, as stated previously...also available at PAW...
