Ah, those were the days. What did that 460 put out? Something like 200 net hp?
285 Gross !
460
Produced from 1968 to 1996. Available in Ford, Mercury and Lincoln. Same as 429, but with longer stroke. (3.85 inch) During its earlier years, pre 1973, horsepower was rated at 365. After 1972 horsepower ranged from 208 to 275. Intake/exhaust valves are 2.08/1.66 Intake/exhaust valves for the Police Interceptor 460 heads (from 1973-'74) measure 2.19/1.66
Especially when it had the word "Boss" as a prefix. But we are talking 1976 here, literally the dark ages when it comes to performance engines. At least Pontiac still had 400's in the T/As that could churn out 220 "net" hp and still make for a fairly quick car, especially with the stick. What was carrying the performance torch for Ford in those days - the Pinto-Mustang with it's firebreathing 302? I think that was rated at about 125 hp?

Changes for 1976 were mainly visual. There was one transmission change in mid-year, however, the V-8, increased to 139 hp, was made available with the 4-speed. New black w/white trim bumper inserts were standard on all II's, replacing the chrome ones. Ford offered two cosmetic option packages, which was popular in the '70's.
i had a 79 f250 camper special w/ a 460. now it didn't have horses but it did have torque. i pulled my 55 on a trailer thru the rockies with the truck and i was passing camaros going uphill. i'm not a big fan of fords but it was a workhorse
