460 help!
Hiya.
I recently bought a 1972 F250.. I have been going along retuning and replacing plugs / oil/fuel what not and have come to find I have a 460 in there.
I have an engine tag on top of cover that reads
460 cid
D1VE-9C485-BA
Heads are D0VE-C
I'm confused as this isnt stock on this truck where did this engine come from?
its a lincoln 71 but what are the other digits for..

That combination would indicate it was a 71 passenger car 460, the V designation was what the engine was originally designed for the the DOVE heads, and D1VE blocks were used in Ford, Linclon and Mercury. those casting numbers are actually revision numbers, after 1970 ford quit using them as year casting numbers atleast on the 385 series of engines.
