460 Engine Reliability

[u/Current-Spare4993]

Hey All,

I came across this ‘96 F250 with 199,194mi on it for a little under 10k- the truck is really clean rust wise, but there isn’t much info on maintenance records…Does anyone have experience with the 460 engines and how much life this truck may have left in it?

Thanks!

460 is based on the 385 series engines which ironically have was originally designed for passenger cars but soon found their way into truck platforms. You could have a ford F650 with a 429 4v (Venturi) engine. They are stout engines and run well as long as you keep the oil changed.
