68 Lincoln 460..Worth it?

Group

I posted in the 67-72 truck list about swapping in a 460 in place
of my 390, but now i wonder is a 68 (first year) 460 lincoln
worth something???Or being the first year does it have issues??

I'm assuming its a 68 motor by the C8 intake 4bbl part #
Can someone help me with this motor as far as torque, HP etc

If its a '68, yeah, I think its a good choice. I don't think there were any design flaws (not counting the EPA's opinion). You could even part it out for cash quite easy. You got the parts lots of guys on this forum would like to have I know. If its a '68 that is.
