370 Flywheel to 460

well the first thing irregardless of whether that flywheel will physically fit or not is the fact that an older 460 (1978 and earlier to be exact) is internal balanced and the 370 is external. next depedning on what it's in, the motor mounts are bolted to the front cover on some of the Lima engines, and the harminic balancers are much bigger and needed for the application.

Monsterbaby are you them saying that if the block is a D9 block then yes it will work? I know one thing will kepp this sawp from ahppening and that is the crank. The crank is different on the 370 on that it has a longer snout and it's a larger dia. snout as well so for the swap to work it would have to have the crank swapped if the front cover and all is needed.
I myself would like to kow if the 370 flywheel is a direct bolt onto a 460 engine and of course balance for balance. Will it fit in the stock truck bell housing from an F150, F250 and a F350 truck?
Rideright, do you have the 370 flywheel out of the truck? If so could you count the number of teeth on the flywheel?

I do not have the 460 yet the junk yard down the road has 5 or 6.
If this swap is possible what year 460 do I need?
What I want to do is put the 460 in place of the 370 using the stock
Five speed and the oversized cooling pump.

What do you mean snout? The front where the damper is or the flywheel end

Well the problem is you are going to hve to use the 370 timing cover for the mounts, but the seal will not work with a 460 dampner, and the 370 dampner will not fit on the 460 crank. about the only way I know it can be done for sure is fabricate some motor mount perches and use 460 motor mounts and all the accessories on the front of hte 460. I don't see why the 370 flywheel will not bolt up as long as they have the same balance which would mean getting a 1979 or later 460
