does anyone know the weight of a 460 i am getting a completely built one next week and need to put it on an engine stand so i need to know what one to get if anyone could tell me that would be great

 

I can give only a good guess. 650.

 

Ford Racing lists their aluminum headed 460 crate motor at 670 lbs. That would put an iron headed engine at somewhere around 725-750.

 

so if i get a stand rated for 750 you think ill be safe?

 

I'd go for 1/2 ton at minimum just to be safe.

 

i agree....why shortchange yourself with safety?

 

so thats why it took me and 2 of my buddys to pick up a 460 iron heads with a C6 on it. that thing was freakin heavy!....cant wait till its in the engine bay of a 1/4 ton ranger haha the 460+tranny+ axles is gunna way alot more then the truck....im going to be useing a 1/2 ton engine stand for my 460.....what you gunna put it in?
