what year did they put the dip stick in the front of the 460, doesnt have the dip stick going to the pan on the side its up front behind the water pump? thanks for readin,..... charlie

 

I can say for sure the early blocks had dip stick in the timing chain cover.
I have 3- 68 blocks set up that way now.

 

passenger car 429/460s all years. If it had a front sump pan it had the dipstick in the timing cover, rear sump had it in the pan

 

Rob, don't forget some of those came in 2wd F-150's as well. But then again, I guess they are still classifield as "passenger car" setups and not "truck" like the 370 was.

 

Karl I never made any comment about trucks either way. I stated all passenger cars had front sump and that front sump engines have the dipstick in the timing cover.

But you are correct 2wd trucks used a front sump pan, and thus had the dipstick in teh timing cover. 4x4, and vans used rear sump and thus used pan mounted dipsticks.
