My Ford 1979 460 v8 big block (7.5L)

This is my 1979 460, which i am currently removing from a (79) Econoline to put into my 1986 ford f-150. Right now it has a Holley Carb on it. But i have a Holley Double Pumper that i am going to put onto it. as well as chrome it out! This engine hasnt been run for about 8 years. (Yes i did an oil change, a tune up. and i let it idle for about 45 mins prior to revving it)

dont chrome it out. fucks up the heat dispersion not to mention looks tacky.

i know it does make it heat up a lot faster but i am not going to drive it everywhere. and i will most likely not put a thermostat it it so it is always flowing.

[zwrongway]

is that a tractor eng?

[TRpresident]

This engine can be used in some tractors. My father told me which tractors it could go in. But i dont know off hand.

A real engine is an engine that will awaken your soul when you put your foot in it. A real engine is an engine that you can feel it is ALIVE! A real engine is a 460 FORD!

A 460 Ford will make you feel alive when you put your foot on it, but it will make you wish you were dead when you fill the tank.

I have a 79 4 wheel drive van with the 460 its sweet!

@importssuckazz it gets 8 mpgs at best...i had a 1985 f250 with the 460...horrible gas mileage but sooo much power!

[caminoguy69]

uhhm for a 460 the gas mileage would be around 8-9 gallons a mile idk i am thinking on getting one

[HillbillyDan159]

It gets around 8 MPG atleast on my 78 bronco it does it has 38.5 Super Swamper Tsl's on it so you might get a lil more I dont know, but you should invest into a hydrogen fuel assister I built one for 40 bucks all it needs is water and baking soda one gallon for a whole year maybe 2 depends how much i use it, and its only like 1$ for a gallon of that water mill pure water, It gives me around 12-14mpg thats a 50% better gas milage

[thegirl44]

if you do , do this swap try to get 429 heads , it makes  a huge difference

[kiteLe06]

yes, it kicks 109 more cubic inches of ass and gets worst fuel economy, but for all those extra horses that should be the least of your worries ;)

[importssuckazz]

im looking in to buying a 460 to drop in to my thunderbird what kind of gas milage dose it get and is it better then a 351
