Topic: 460 Ford?

[miraclepieco]

I have the opportunity to buy a 1973 Lincoln 460 engine and trans for $500.  I presume this is the same engine as the Ford unit?  Anyone have any experience with these?  Pretty heavy I assume; too much for a 33 pickup?  Gobs o' torque?  Rat rod material or not?

if i remeber correctly that engine was trying to hard for no reason. it had a terrible power to weight ratio but it would make your heart do backflips with the low bass note that it belched out.

Just one word BIG BLOCK well that was two but you get my meaning

It's the same engine as ford trucks.......would make a great rat rod motor. As stated, it's a big block.......

That big block would be sweet wish I had it.

Thanks for the advice.  I definitely inclined to get it now, especially since a C6 is included at that price.

Did you get this engine ? If you did it sure would be bad ass in the new sedan .

There is something about having a Ford engine in a Ford vehicle,
Weird.  But cool.
Lots'o torque.

No, but now I wish I had!  Looks like I'll be running the aluminum 215 in the cee-dan.

You passed it up? Oh man. Those were cool. Put the big brother of one of those in a Cobra replica before. Sure, it was actually a 502 but the point is the torque had the potential to make you shit your pants from the potential for disaster but smile at having survived it.
