460 Question
I's there a diffence between a Lincoln 460 and a Ford 460? I'm mostly interested in the dog ears where the motor mounts bolt up to the block. I know there are alot of iter-changable parts for the 429-460 but what about vehicles.
The back ground as to why I'm asking is that I have a 77' F100 with a blown 302 and I can get my hands on a running 460 out of a 69' Lincoln Continental that has terminal cancer. Would there be any problems putting this Lincoln motor into the truck. I know that I need to get a different XMSN, is there any other parts I need to get to make this swap possible?
thnx, shawn

460 Question
Performance Automotive Warehouse CA pawengineparts.com? sell a frame adapter from Transdapt #9433 about75$. The egine isolators can be bought from your local auto parts... the application is for a 73 to 79 f series 2wd with the 460 option (i just paid 56$ for the pair). The shells that mount to the block are from the same application but i just recently tried my local dealer and he said they are obsolete.?! you may have to scrounge the junkyard scene or fab or get lucky in the aftermarket (let me know, i'm going to fab mine but would rather not) finish off the swap with hooker #6841 engine swap headers... the cheapest? price for those is at summitracing.com $370. some thicker flywheels may require you to notch the bell housing for clearance and watch the throw out forks, too. the alt and power steering has to be mounted high a fab project. My first swap was from a tired 400 to an approx 500 hp 460 and got 8mpg from the 5600 lb truck. but i trade the 850 dbl pumper for a 750 vac and now get 9mpg ... but it needs to burn premiun 10.5:1 ratio. good luck dnadzam@atsengineers.com
This info is for the 4x4, the changes would be in the motor mounts and headers.

460 Question
My cousin put a 460 w/tranny out of a Lincoln into his F-150. The only thing he had to do was find the frame engine mounts and get a bigger radiator.
