460 engine VIN codes

I have a 460 out of a 79 F-150 2x4.In the literature I've found it shows 2 possible engines.An A code and a J code for the 460 engine.Can anybody tell me the differance in the two.The J code engine seems to be the rarer of the two also,and that just happens to be the one I have.any help would be greatly appreciated!

49 F-1 (soon to be 460 powered streetrod)
50 F-1
83 F-150
94 Explorer
95 Mustang

If you listen on a quiet night..you can hear a Chevy rust...F-1s FOREVER

I can't help you with your question, I'm sorry. However, I do have a question for you. Does that truck have power steering? If it does, do you still have the power steering pump bracket? If you do, would you be willing to get rid of it? I need it for an engine swap I did. Thanks.

That's ok. I needed it because I put a 460 in my 79' Thunderbird, replacing the little 351-M. Thanks anyway.
