Hey Guys....

I've posted this before but for those who didn't see it, get a "Ready Sleeve" kit for your 351W two piece rear seal block. The FelPro part number is 99376 and I think you can install it with the engine in the car. The sleeve effectively increases the rear seal journal about .009".

I had the "Leak From HELL" from the rear of my 408W and replaced seals so many times I can't even count......I even talked to a guy in Mooresville, NC who will machine the block for a one piece seal. After installing the sleeve kit....NO LEAKS...NADA!!!! I even put a little oil on the block plate every oil change to keep down the rust...Ha Ha!!

I'm sure they make these kits for all Ford engines, but I don't have a part number for 460's. Call 800-325-8886 and the FelPro people will surely help you.

Give it a try...The whole kit with install tool is less than $50.00 and it works!!!

Jack
