To do the swap clean, you will need a rear sump pan and pick-up. A front sump can be made to work, but you will have to fab your own motor mounts to raise the front of the engine so that it will clear the cross member, I've done this once. I would not recomend the front sump for any off road use due to possible engine oil starvation on steep up hill grades.

 

I used a 74 lincoln 460 in a 79 F150 with new ford mounts and it fit fine.

 

are all 460 cross bolt truck engine perch mounts the same for 73 -79 f150-f350 . am going to replace 400M in 78 f350 with 460 0ut 0f 77 150. Have mounts , perches, accessorys, brackets, manifolds, etc. TCI says c6 and converter are same for both.
It's a welding truck, weight is around 11000 to 12000 all the time. need lots of torque. suggestions on engine building welcomed.
thanks, rodburn

 

hi there;;; there are 3 oil pans you can use for a 460 a front sump[your stock 460 lincoln pan] or a van sump[center draw pan] or a rear sump[miloden or moroso or ford racing] i think you are going to have to use the rear sump,,if you do you also need a meeling m84d hvs oil pump and pick up... the m84d melling punp is a gerotor pump unlike the gear pump that you have in your stock '73 460.. a c-6 is the easiest and cheapest auto trans but if money is no object you can get a aod 4speed trans from performance automatic...good luck

 

hey rodburn;; if you are looking for raw torque, i would suggest a 4.5 stroker kit for your 460.. if you have desk top dyno you can see for your self the difference in torque... be carefull though if you use the right cam combinations you could be looking at about 800 ft lbs at about 2000 rpm

 

i have a 77 lincoln 460 putting in a 4x4 150 i think i have every thing figured out but oil pan i found a kit from ford racing m-6675-9460 has anyone used this or now if it will work this is the only thing holding me up so the sooner i get the info the better ford would not tell me the said fits a stang swap if possible u mail me jpierce2004@comcast.net things get busy and forget were i posted things thanks joe
