I was wondering about the valves. Are they two piece time bombs? I will get lots of pics and casting numbers Thursday. I am taking my friend diwn to Chatham to grab a lawn tractor. If he gets seafood it is riding in the back with the tractor.

If you have it apart for a rebuild, change the valves.
They may/might/will come apart at high RPMs and the valve head eats the piston and head. Might even bend the rod. Valve spring then sheds the stem. Next, Mr. Pushrod usually goes on vacation thru the valve cover, and the lifter bounces around the lifter valley looking for something expensive to ruin.

Yes sir. I figured that was the case. From past experience, the lifter typically stayed in the bore due to the brown ring that builds up over the years. I have seen push rods that dented the hood after slowing down on the way through the valve cover. If I do decide on the 460, are oil pans readily available?

460 hasn't been used in a passenger car since 1978. Probably looking at used or aftermarket front sump oil pans.

I have 460 out of a 69 lincoln mk3. Trying to install in a 72 gran torino wagon.. I have the motor mounts from the mk3 and have purchased several others online for 72 gran torino.. Can't get anything to match up to cradle bolt holes. Also seems to be an issue with pan clearance. Is there a tower or adapter plate available that would address fitment issues? Thanks

I have a 69 lincoln 460 that I am trying to install in a 72 gran torino wagon. I have the lincoln motor mounts and have also purchased several different motor mounts online but can't get anything to match up to bolt holes on engine cradle. Also pan clearance seems to be an issue. Is there a tower or adapter plate available that addresses these issues. Thanks

Use engine mounts for a 72 76 ford Thunderbird with 460. That is what the factory used. It is a 3 piece assembly. Upper metal heat shield and lower rubber. I have used this on both my ranchero swaps for a 74 and 79. Bolts right up.

Are you asking if the 69 engine mounts would work? Not sure.or are you asking if the engine mounts from the t bird will work? That would be a yes.

Just to update this thread, Crites mounts are not longer available. He apparently passed away and the family is not continuing his business. So finding so NOS or used big block motor mounts is the only sources now as I don't believe they are produced in the aftermarket.
