Donor 460?

Assuming I went to a typical salvage yard, what might be a good source of a 460? A "smog motor" would be fine; I can deck the block and rip off the emissions stuff.

It'll probably be put in an LTD wagon, BTW.

our 1990 ford truck "F350 lariat" (gas) has one and my friend in a early 70's ford ranger may have one

460 eh Best source would be a late 60's early 70's anything all the 460's/ 429's came with the coveted d0ve heads which are the best flowing cast cyl heads on a big block next to the cj/scj "d0ve" is referring to the casting # d0ve isnt the only casting in that family c8oe c9oe d1oe and d2oe, all flowed around the same all the motors from 68-71 made around 475ft/lbs of toque which will be needed if yer putting it into the wagon. after 71 the power # dropped off big time and the motors begame dog like truck motors which make power but nothin spectacular
Glad I could add imput
