85lebaront2 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Going from external to internal balance is an option I suppose. I don't know about the deck height v available 460 rod lengths. Definitely would need an expensive zero balance flywheel though. Parkland (Scotty), who is a member on here, has all that information on his site. Zero balance flywheel, Mustang 1971-73 429, Torino 1970-76 with 429 CJ/SCJ. The pre-1979 trucks with the 460 may have been available with a manual transmission. I'm sure Summit or Jegs probably has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge the 460 was only available with automatic in F-series prior to 1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge the 460 was only available with automatic in F-series prior to 1983 And I have the old engine out of BB, which may be a very well-worn original from a salvage. Might have a good crank, rods, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have paid up for the Tech pages but don't see the flywheel info on the Parkland Performance site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 And might be going right back to Flo-rid-ea! I'd be happy to do that. And, I have the flywheel, clutch, etc. Engine has an Edelbrock intake and aluminum water pump and is complete, just the way it came out of BB.

I have no reason to believe this engine or crank is junk just yet, or that it has been previously rebuilt, I only know that it's a tired engine. I was told that it was running and driving, and everything I see so far backs up that claim, although it probably didn't run well with oil fouled plugs if that was the condition they were in when it was last run. I thought I read on a post from Bill (NumberDummy) somewhere that the 460 didn't get a manual transmission in the trucks until 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 True, but the 429 car housing will fit. And the '80-'82 pedal support can fit right where Shaun has just installed the hydraulic firewall reinforcement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 And the '80-'82 pedal support can fit right where Shaun has just installed the hydraulic firewall reinforcement.... Shaun just put a new lever on his hydraulic pedal bracket, and he already has a hydraulic bellhousing so no need for failure prone mechanical linkage.
