I'm getting ready to start on another 460 swap and wondered if anyone here had additional info. The last two that I did I used Lincoln engines, First one I picked up a Brand-X swap kit that was just engine mounts & an oil pan. I used the L&L fenderwell headers and redrilled the 351M accessory mounts. After screwing around for a couple months trying to get my belts to run straight I caved in & bought the L&L accessory brackets and was done with it. Second time around I just bought the whole L&L kit.
This time I'm looking at a Ford 460 from a large cube van (don't know what year but it looks like an 80's model). I seem to remember that the first time I did this the oil pan I got had a van part #. What I'm hoping is that this one I spotted will have a rear sump pan that I can use and being a Ford van engine rather than something out of a car I'm hoping that the front accessories will work as-is without needing the L&L brackets. If it'll work then all I need from L&L will be the motor mounts & headers which saves me a lot compared to the whole kit.
Anyone know if this'll work or are the F-truck 460's the only ones that will bolt right in with nothing more than motor mounts & exhaust manifolds ??
