ON BLOCK has a square aluminim sticker that says remanfactured with these #s 682084.. NUMBERS ON BLOCK ARE D9TE-AB.. one man came here to look at the 460_put a socket on front of motor turned it over..and all he tried to do was buy the motor..but said he knew nothin about it/not true i could see..the headman headers are new old stock/msd ignition/distributor/new old stock in box. new old stock holley 4b card/motor has a eldebrock 460 intake highrise..all parts are here many to list..anyway is it worth taking out a perfectly good motor to install this large 460 or stay with the 390 and sale the 460..also has 460 transmission/tort convertor..all it takes to put in truck is with motor..even 2 new old stock motor mounts 460 on them/alternator fan..so much stuff..do i gain hp or stick with the nice 390..im not a manchanic.. pls help with info..best reguards.. don1958@penn.com all pictures are on my face book donald r dean or the email..i dont no what to do and have motor out of crate now..so i got to do something..tks all
