Not me but I think the early lincolns had 462s or something and they are totally different.

The 67 and earlier Lincolns have the 462 MEL series, never heard of a 461.

This is just a guess, but in the older trucks, at least in the FE engines Ford used to bump the number up 1 to indicate a heavy duty truck engine rather than the run of the mill FE. Thus in the heavier duty trucks you had 361's and 391's for example. I don't know if this could still be the case.

Yup, 461 was a big truck engine, made a 429T as wel. They share 1 thing with the FE truck engines, the big crank snout

Welcome to FTE.

What is the 4th character of your VIN?

Your VIN should read "F60_" with that 4th digit or letter being the engine code.

No 461 listed in the MPC. Thus the question as to what engine code is in the VIN.
