INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the extreme torque values of the 460 & 429 Ford V8 engines, it will be mandatory that you install a limit strap
or straps to the driver's side and passenger side engine mount. This limiting strap will prevent the engine from torquing
beyond the limits of the rubber vulcanization. The straps should be installed with approximately 1/2" tension reserve.
This will permit the engine to torque up to 1/2" in the motor mount area without causing any problem to the motor mount
itself. Warranty on engine mount separation will be void if the limiting straps are not in place.

SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components will void
any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly recommend that
you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service
manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships
and parts stores.

FORD 429-460 BIG BLOCK ENGINE

V8 ENGINE MOUNTS

The replacement of the small Ford V8 and straight 6 cylinder engines have become quite popular in Ford trucks. One of the main
reasons for this is that the 460 cubic inch big block is readily available in most salvage yards. We offer engine mounts that will
bolt directly to the Ford 429/460 engine blocks and will match the frame rails on most applications. These mounts fit the 4WD
F-series pickups from 1977 to 1996, 2WD F-series pickups from 1978 to 1996, and Broncos from 1978 to 1996. The stock frame
perches can be used on most applications. The location of the frame perches should be 12-3/8” from the face of the bellhousing
to the center of the stock frame perch stud hole. On a few applications, the frame perch may need to be relocated. On 1979 &
earlier 6 cylinder vehicles, a new driver’s side frame perch must be installed.

The various Ford engine blocks used three different bolt patterns. When replacing an engine in a vehicle that originally had a
manual transmission, the bellhousing will need to be changed. When converting vehicles with automatics, the entire transmission
casing will need to be replaced. The following blocks are grouped together by block bolt pattern configuration.

Small Block Fords: 289, 302 and 351 Windsor all have the same block bolt pattern.
Ford Blocks: 332, 352, 360, 390, 406, 427 and 428 all have the same block pattern.
Ford Blocks: 429, 460, 351M and 400 all have the same block bolt pattern.

Both the 429 or 460 engines can be used for this conversion. When purchasing your new engine, you will have several options
as to what vehicle the engine is obtained out of. Acquiring a 460 out of an early F-series or E-series is good donor application.
We have also found that the late ‘80s and early ‘90s F250 & F350 had the 460 engine as an option in the Ford trucks. These engines
would also be good donor application. If you are buying a take-out engine from a wrecking yard, make sure you get a complete
engine with all the accessories and brackets.

BODY LIFT: A body lift is mandatory for 1979 & earlier vehicles. On later model vehicles, a body lift will aid in the installation
of the engine, but it is not mandatory.

WATER PUMP: The original water pump that is purchased with your engine should work fine without any changes.
ACCESSORY BRACKETS: Most Ford accessories are interchangeable within the stock Ford brackets.
ALTERNATOR: Your original V8 alternator can be retained without disconnecting any of the wiring. It may be easier to use the

new 460 alternator rather than try to change back to the old alternator.
RADIATOR MODIFICATIONS: The radiator will definitely need to be changed in order to provide enough cooling capacity for

your new engine. We have seen some truck models equipped with heavy duty towing packages that are already equipped with
a volume large enough to handle the 460 engine.

OIL FILTER: The stock oil filter can be used except on vehicles that are equipped with IFS suspension. Oil filter clearance is
not a problem on vehicles equipped with solid axles. Due to the tight clearances in the engine compartment, we have found it
easier to use a remote oil filter adapter kit on most conversions. AA Part No. 716084.

STARTER MOTOR: The Ford V8 requires that the starter motor be bolted to the bellhousing. For this reason it is imperative
that, before installing your engine into your vehicle, you check your flywheel and starter for proper engagement and indexing.

AIR CONDITIONING: The original air compressor can be reused on the new engine. You should be able to unbolt the
compressor assembly without disconnecting the compressor hoses. The original straight 6 or 302 V8 brackets will not be
compatible with the new engine.

SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components
will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly
