  Ford 460 Big Block - 460 Motor
First of all, finding a used Ford 460 truck motor in good condition is difficult enough without having the added issue of carburetion versus fuel injection.
The 460 was readily available from older '70s cars and station wagons, but they do not seem to be as well built as truck motors and the oil pan has the sump in the wrong location along with the oil pump.
The 460 engine is nearly done with the internals.

 RE: DaMunk - 78-79 Bronco & Ford Truck Discussion Forum
Maybe a 460 that has been built exactly the same as mine would be a little faster, especially on top end, but my new 400 will more than "hold a candle stick" to most stock 460 engines.
However, Ford did replace the 460 in 1971 with the 400 in all full-size cars, and the 460 was reduced to nothing more than a very rare “option”.
Sure, you can shed 80lbs from the 460, but your are still 120 lbs heavier than a 400 with the same weight reductions and now you have spent an additional $500.00 (at least) on the 460 to try and bring it’s weight down.

 533 Cubic-Inch Big Block Ford - 4-Wheel and Off-Road
When Ford created the Boss 302 for 1969, it took its proven lightweight small-block and moved some water passages to match the canted-valve heads of the brand-new 351 Cleveland (known as the 335-series engine).
Ford introduced the big-block in 1968 cars in both 429ci and 460ci versions to replace the aging FE big-block and continued using them in luxo-barges up until 1978 (although the 429 was dropped after 1973).
In the mid-’80s the 460 was finally dropped into four-wheel-drive trucks and was in use until the V-10 was introduced in 1999.

 The True RV'ers Forum: Ford 460 exhaust noise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
I had similar problems with a 460 and after checking out as many RV Technical forums as I could find, the consensus was to use anti-seize compound on both sides of the gasket and on the threads of the manifold bolts.
The logic is that the manifold and the head expand and contract at different rates and so there is some sliding of the manifold relative to the mating surface on the head and the anti-seize allows this to happen without destroying the gasket.
It is important with an exhaust manifold, just like a cylinder head, that you tighten the bolts in a pattern to make sure the manifold is tightened flat, that is why you work from the middle out alternating from one side to the other.

 Big-Block Shootout Part 3 -- Ford 460 Big Block
The 460 was introduced in the late '60s as a natural growth from the successful and reliable 429.
Built to power the huge land yachts of the day, the 460 was reliable and tough while being smooth and quiet, which is exactly what Ford wanted.
The 460 has a natural angle of about 3 degrees nose up when installed in a chassis, so these two holes at the rear of the valley are relied upon to return most of the oil to the pan, and they need to be larger.

We were surprised to learn they had a drop-in, single wire, billet distributor for 385-series and 335-series Ford engines.
Ford created the Duraspark system which uses a magnetic reluctor to switch the coil.
Named after physicist discoverer, Edwin Hall, a Hall Effect Sensor operates on the principle that when a piece of metal with current running through it is passed through a magnetic field it will generate a secondary voltage perpendicular to the metal.

Externally the same, intake manifolds, headers, cams, heads, etc will all interchange between 429 and 460 engines (except for some marine engines and the Boss 429, of course!), so aftermarket support is the same for either a 429 or a 460.
The 460 is a fav with many of the F-100 crowd.
SCJ, CJ and later truck rods are preferable because of the spotface for the rod bolt heads on the rod.

 87-Octane Ford 460 - Car Craft Magazine
The biggest hassle is that nearly all Ford 429/460 engines came stock with nonadjustable valvetrains which don't cut it with any halfway decent performance cam.
Like most classic Ford V-8 engines, the 429/460 big-block cylinder-head exhaust-port design is compromised to clear tight shock towers on old Ford musclecars; to compensate, this cam features 8 degrees more 0.050-inch duration on the exhaust side (see Valvetrain Specs chart).
On the Ford, most of the time was spent tracking down compatible parts to finish off the engine and solve our valvetrain dilemmas.

Normally, these short-blocks come with a fairly stout hydraulic cam, but for this thumper engine, Ford substituted an even hotter high-lift, long-duration hydraulic unit that’s said to be worth another 50 hp.
Nevertheless, for all those with Ford blue blood running through their veins, the SVO 460 sets a new standard against which all other crate motors must be measured.
The standard 460 short-block’s low-compression, cast dished piston (left) is replaced by a hypereutectic flat-top with valve reliefs (right).

In this category the 460 gasoline engines are very susceptible to these problems, and only time will tell if the V10s will suffer the same fate.
If you drive a 460 and it has gotten to the point where you can hear the exhaust leak noise while you are driving, it is already too late - odds are you are looking at new exhaust manifold(s) and in worst cases, new cylinder heads.
The fact is that although these engines have been experiencing these problems for many years, the manufacturer has yet to correct the factors that cause this situation, and has not put forward a workable alternative, effectively abadoning the product to it's fate, and the vehicle owners to a mandatory expense that should be avoidable.

 How to Build a 500HP Ford 460   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
By virtue of their generous bore spacing (4.900 inches between centers), 429 and 460 Ford passenger car and truck blocks can be bored safely up to 0.080-inch over and still maintain adequate cylinder-wall thickness, according to Nowak.
And compared to big-block Chevys and even Mopar 440s, Ford 429 and 460 cores are surprisingly easy to score in boneyards, so the initial cost is low.
Since the only difference between the 429 and 460 is the crank, which is interchangeable, it doesn't really matter which block you start with as long as you get a 460 crank.
