What did the Ford 460 come in?

Introduced in the Continental Mark III for 1968, the 460 was initially exclusive to Lincoln (and the Mark III); in 1972, the engine was introduced for Mercury and was added to Ford (and intermediates) for 1973. The same year, the engine was added to Ford light-duty trucks (F-Series pickups).

When did Ford make the 460 engine?

1968
The 460 cubic inch eight-cylinder motor debuted all the way back in 1968 but found itself powering cars, trucks, and commercial equipment all the way to the end of the 1990s during its three decade run.

Why is MY 1987 Ford 460 overheating?

If this vehicle has the original radiator, the problem could be a restriction of coolant flow thru the radiator. You can also use the heat gun to check for restricted cores in the radiator. While the engine is hot and running, point the gun at the radiator cores. Those that show a lower temp than the rest are the restricted ones.

Are there any problems with the 1995 Ford motorhome?

If so, the module could be acting up due to heat failure and that’s a common problem with those modules. Those modules were also phased out after 1995 as far as I know. Symptoms can vary but coughing, chugging, or even flat dying on deceleration is one of them.

Can a Ford motorhome run at sea level?

It runs perfectly at sea level. When I drive up to the mountains it’s just fine accelerating up the mountain (naturally performance goes down a bit when I get to 7,000 feet). Then, I have a steep (1,000 ft elevation drop) downhill where I downshift for ~ 2 miles.

How many horsepower does a Ford 460 have?

Max Brake Horsepower: Both horsepower and torque for the 460 from 1973 until 1996 changed many times depending on emission controls, various fuel injection and carburetor setups as well as what the engine was used in.

What should I do about my 1996 Ford 460?

Have the injectors cleaned by a pro (Involves hooking the fuel rail up and pushing a cleaning solution through them). Have the catalytic convertor checked out and replace the o2 sensor. Depending on the mileage, the engine itself is probably in good shape. It probably just needs gone over real good.

What are the exhaust ports on a Ford 460?

The 429/460 comes from the factory with an dismal flowing exhaust port that backs up quickly and kills engine power. Cleaning up the ports transforms the engine a la Jeckyl and Hyde. In your case, it may help to install a freer flowing exhaast system, but this will help only so much as the exhaust ports will still be the primary restriction.

What’s the bad side of a Ford 460?

On the bad side, however, the 460 head exhaust ports are extremely narrow and do not let the engine “exhale” to its full potential. The flow on the exhaust ports is so bad that adding a larger cam will completely choke out the engine and provide very poor performance at any RPM range.
