What YEAR?
I have a 79 F-250 4x4 the truck came with a 400 but my uncle put a 460 in for more power. The problem is i dont know what year the 460 is and my uncle cant remember. Is there an easy way to find out what year the motor is. Also are there any big diffrences in 460s that i need to know about beacause i will be putting headers, intake, and a cam in it.
Thanks Chase.

If you pull the starter off there should be a serial number on the block. Get it and post it and you shall get your answer. I am too tired right now to explain how to read the numbers.
People who say it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

You guy are awsome thanks for all the help. The motor had the egr plate on the intake but i took that crap off and put a spacer in. This christmas i want to put in a edelbrock performer RPM intake and a Lunati Bracket Master II cam. Maybe a new timing chain. Would all this work pretty good on my motor. What should my timing be set at and what is the Compression ratio 8:1 or 8.5:1.
Thanks Chase
