Simple 460 cam question?
What years have the factory hydraulic roller cam in the 460, and what was the first year offered? I'm trying to hunt down a distributor for my carbed-conversion '88 460EFI. Any suggestions, including HEI, are welcome. Thanks ,Randy JSM84

never, you can get a hydraulic roller retrofit setup from crane cams, but no 460 ever came factory with a hydraulic roller, the closest from ford would be the ford motorsports solid roller 514 crate engine, but thats the only roller of any kind that ford ever offered for any 385 series application

as for your carb conversion, have you swapped heads yet? if not youll need to to use a carb intake- as for the distributor- just go to any junkyard and pull a duraspark module and distributor out of any 351m-400-429-460- theyre all the same distributor until they went to fuel injection in 1988

i wish they did too, then i wouldnt have had to spend 400 dollars on a retrofit cam and 450 for retrofit lifters, and yes the retrofit cam is steel, and the lifters are bearing grade steel, so ill be buying a different distributor gear when i settle on a distributor
