info/ serial number/ 460
Does anyone know how to read the serial numbers to find out the year , car, plant?? on a 460. Also where are the numbers located on the block. I did a search and it found nothing posted on the 460.
Thanks Dane |
Hi Dane,
Here's a place to start: Ford numbers explained! The number for the 385 series block is right above the starter. There are basically three production 385 series blocks: The usual, the stronger, and the 4-bolt. They escalate in price accordingly. The difference between the "usual" and the "stronger" is that the main bearing webs taper to the pan rail, whereas the latter are flat, thicker and look more like the four-bolt ones. There are also aftermarket blocks in both iron and aluminum is price is much less of an object. Any of the 385 series blocks will support 600hp easily on the street as far as I know. Hope this gets you started! Tom |
That is a great starting point. They dont specify the "385" series block but I'll bet you can get a good idea and starting point. Thanks Tom.
Dane Tom, do you think I will have to remove the starter to see the numbers? |

Hi Dane
Dunno what 5015 is. 6015 is the Ford part number for an engine block. Tom |
Ah Ha! I had my head pinned under the side pipe sideways. It looked like a 5 a 6 or an 8...hey Tom how about the A2?
Dane BTW Thanks Tom I dont know why I really need to know this, its just raining...hard and I cant drive the car. |
