Thread: 460 Help in a 1947 Ford Panel Truck (COOL HEY!)

Tweet

John read my thread project special k! I have almost the same set up and issues. What I can tell you is Edelbrock recogmends the 1407 performer carb for that manifold. I got on e fairly new off ebay for about 100.00. They are matched to perform best together, they also make a cam kit to go with it! I think you'll get plenty of power with that combo and maybe some headers, Sanderson makes a set for a 460 for 48 fords, may work for you. These guys here are a big help, you might also try 460ford.com and ford truck enthusiasts forums where I will be willing to bet there are several guys doing exactly what your doing. Good luck! Post some pictures when you can, Steve.

PS how does it run right now with the current engine?

OK, let me start by stating, I am not a Ford guy <



You are now officially a Ford Man Now! Welcome!!!

Thanx for the replys so far...that was quick!

ok...here is what I have on the engine.

On the heads----------D3VE A2A

On the block I found several numbers on the pass side front as follows---58847 and 78H317

I found a tag on the c6 tranny, might help if motor and trans were out of the same vehicle? ---PJD AN4 P14
D8VP B 07168

Hope this helps.....

Hey Stovens...I have not run the motor yet...the truck is still in pieces.....can you do me a favor on those headers.....take a picture from the top and the bottom and send them to me........my stock manifolds are really close to the frame and I am not sure headers will work. Also my steering may be in the way. As far as the Ford460.com I am still waiting for my e-mail so I can use the site....Thanx everyone...I am gonna work on the picture....

They never emailed me back but after a month I was able to get on with my login and password. Kind of frustrating.
Another member here, Dagored, has loaded a few shots of them. I still have my stock exhaust manifolds, so no photos to share. Search for this thread , " Sanderson custom headers",here http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...r-service.html
