Reply to "Engine codes"

Never got into the engine codes used 30 yrs ago for the Pantera. Most Pantera people could care less what block-code is on there, as long as it runs good enough to scare them occasionally. The 351C is not a big-block, either; it is what Ford once called a 'mid-block'- neither small nor big. The 429 & 460 have different motor mount bolt patterns and different bellhousing bolt patterns from the 351C. They are the same as the 351M & 400M truck engines, though. The only swappable parts between the bunch are the distributor, carb & air cleaners. The 429/460 block is some 5" longer than a 351C, presenting many problems for engine swappers, but its been done. Bring money, though.
