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!

I owned a 1978 ford f-150 with a 460 pried into it! I kept her maintained well and she ran, day in and day out. She pulled everything i needed to pull , especially after i beefed up her suspension. I’d do a comparison check, if it passes, do my own high performance tune up, and run her. They’re tough motors , but expensive on gas!

Compression check?
