No, the early 460 was balanced differently. One is externally balanced, and the other is internally balanced.You must be talking about the 460 MEL from 1958-1968 then, that's a different kettle of fish than the more modern 460 that came in Ford trucks.
With oddsandends you know what dallas was like when he was 14And Bosch....and little trucks too.
The 360 in early form was an excellent purpose built truck motor. You'll want to take a look at the oil pan as there were two for the 360 depending on if it was in a two or four wheel drive truck. I seem to recall having to swap out the pan when I installed one in a 1980 F250 4x4. Some fabricating of motor mount perches had to be done as well, otherwise a later distributor from say a 74 or 5 360 will allow you to plug right in to your wiring harness and use the brainbox in the truck. The older alternators also work wonderful with the newer all electronic voltage regulators of the 80's and plug and play as well.I have an 360 mated to a 5 speed with granny gear that I've considered using instead of the 460 as well. I've got 3 of these old Bullnose Fords F350s, so rather than mess with my small block truck, I'll probably build a different truck although.

Except no Internet back then
Dallas probably had a trapper keeper full of stained
Stihl brochures.
I only had one and put it in an old car, for trucks I always stuck with the FE's, one 390 was put in several trucks as the motors last longer than the body's up here.No, the early 460 was balanced differently. One is externally balanced, and the other is internally balanced.
The 390 can be a very strong power plant.I only had one and put it in an old car, for trucks I always stuck with the FE's, one 390 was put in several trucks as the motors last longer than the body's up here.

why put a good motor into a less than lack luster truckJust LS swap it all.
Iron block, aluminum head 6.0.
One of the best v8 engines ever built.
And to completely ruin the internet, I'd take the Ford 460 over the Chevrolet 454 if building off an oem block.
save me someContact cement flying around the garage now. Little plastic laminate work to fix a cabinet for big red's niece. Ribs are gonna hit the smoker in about 20 or so.
Same as the 302. Newer is 50 and older is 28No, the early 460 was balanced differently. One is externally balanced, and the other is internally balanced.
